Film Is 24 Lies Per

I Learned My Business In The Theater And In Television, Particularly Working With The Actors. You Can Learn Much More In The Theater Than Directing A Movie, Because Then You Have No Time When You Are Shooting A Movie To Really Work With The Actors. You Have To Learn This Craft Somewhere Else.

Even The Most Elitist Director Or Author Who Claims That He Doesn't Care If His Works Are Seen Or Not, Then I Have To Think That He's Either A Liar Or A Hypocrite.

I Don't Need A Psychiatrist. I Can Sort Out My Fears With My Work. That's The Privilege Of All Artists, To Be Able To Sort Out Their Unhappiness And Their Neuroses In Order To Create Something.

You Cannot Hurt Animals, So What Do I Do? I Kill The Dog First. Then I Do It With The Boy. You're Not Supposed To Break The Illusion Of This Being A Film, So I Make The Actor Talk To The Audience. Provocation Is The Principle Of The Whole Film [ Funny Games]. It Is Very Ironic.

What We're Doing For Another Person Is More Important Than What We're Feeling For Them.
