More than anything, there are more images in evil. Evil is based far more on the visual, whereas good has no good images at all.

More quotes by Lars von Trier
I am very romantic about communism even still, but I know terrible things happened.
Lars von Trier
I can't tell you why I choose stuff, it's really something I don't analyse. The only thing I can say is that a film has to demand to be made, I don't have a plan of what films I'm going to make. The only thing that I know now is that I'm not too crazy about doing things again that I've been into before.
Lars von Trier
I am crazy about time cuts. I have a theory that the audience tie everything together so they don't see time cuts but the time cuts give us the possibility of jumping in time, which means a psychological evolution can be cut down.
Lars von Trier
I hope my films will never completely be without the ability to mark anybody.
Lars von Trier
A film has to be like a stone in the shoe.
Lars von Trier
Only a fool does not fear actors, but you can't beat them, and if you can't beat them, join them, as they say. As I've got older I've become very interested in that part of the work
Lars von Trier
Political correctness kills discussion.
Lars von Trier
One of the things that got me thinking during therapy is that they say that fear is only thoughts, and nothing will happen because thoughts will never be real. And my thesis, or joke, in film Antichrist, is that they really do become real.
Lars von Trier
There is no creative expression of artistic value that has ever been produced by ex-drunkards and ex-drug-addicts. Who the hell would bother with a Rolling Stones without booze or with a Jimi Hendrix without heroin?
Lars von Trier
I encouraged the cast to make up their own lines.
Lars von Trier
Just the fact that you're working is good for you.
Lars von Trier
If anyone would like to hit me, they are perfectly welcome. I must warn you, though, that I might enjoy it. So maybe it's not the right kind of punishment.
Lars von Trier
Even if you feel all right, tell the actors you don't have full power, and they will help you.
Lars von Trier
When I was younger, I was fascinated by David Bowie, for example. he had created an entire myth around himself. It was as important as his music.
Lars von Trier
If I made a musical in the beginning of my career, it would have been crane shots and tracking shots and people coming out of cakes and whatever, but these techniques are something that I’ve left behind me.
Lars von Trier
I'm fighting against my will to control. I think that is what I am doing. I would like to accept things in life, in all matters of life I would like to accept, but it's so difficult. I think we all have this struggle.
Lars von Trier
My films generally center around thousands of pictures being flashed in rapid succession to create the illusion of motion.
Lars von Trier
I come from a family of communist nudists. I was allowed to do or not do what I liked. My parents were not interested in whether I went to school or got drunk on white wine.
Lars von Trier
I know that I cannot be with a person for three hours without saying at least ten things that would kill me.
Lars von Trier
The risk is that you furnish the project with new suggestions to try and freshen it up it's not always beneficial. You risk betraying the original intention with the story, forgetting what it is you really want to portray.
Lars von Trier
