It’s Harder To Write A

I Love Actors, Both My Parents Were Actors, And The Work With Actors Is The Most Enjoyable Part Of Making A Film. It's Important That They Feel Protected And Are Confident They Won't Be Betrayed. When You Create That Atmosphere Of Trust, It's In The Bag - The Actors Will Do Everything To Satisfy You.

If I Tell The Audience What They Should Think, Then I Am Robbing Them Of Their Own Imagination And Their Own Capacity Of Deciding What's Important To Them.

It Became A Gamble To Myself Whether I Was Able To Do The Exact Same Film ["funny Games"]under Very Different Circumstances.

It Could Be Fascist, Religious Or Political - It's Always The Same Model That Operates In These Circumstances, And It's That Which Is The Actuality Of This Film. Therefore, It's Not Specifically An Explanation Of German Fascism Because That Would Be An Impossible Thing To Do In Any Case.

Unfortunately, You're Helpless When People Interpret Your Work Wrongly. There Are Simply People Who Can't Or Won't Understand Or Accept What You're Trying To Do. When You Take The Risk Of Expressing Yourself In Public, You Have To Open Yourself To That Possibility.
