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.

More quotes by 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
I hope my films will never completely be without the ability to mark anybody.
Lars von Trier
That's the great thing about entering a convent: There are things that you simply can't do, so you don't have to worry about them
Lars von Trier
Far be it from me to force anyone into either chess or dressage, but if you choose to do so yourself, in my opinion there is only one way: follow the rules.
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
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
We start with a rehearsal where the actors kind of bring what they think should be in the scene. But we film everything, and we use cuts of this first take, also.
Lars von Trier
I am a man who likes to control things, and if I can't control them totally I will not control them at all.
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 like gardening. I'm really a nature man. I spend as much time as I can in nature. I feel really safe there.
Lars von Trier
Just the fact that you're working is good for you.
Lars von Trier
I am very romantic about communism even still, but I know terrible things happened.
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
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
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 not a woman! Let's make that very clear! Oh I don't know, maybe I am. I am an American woman. Or 65 percent of me is.
Lars von Trier
A film has to be like a stone in the shoe.
Lars von Trier
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.
Lars von Trier
Political correctness kills discussion.
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.
