More quotes by Lars von Trier
Political correctness kills discussion.
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
You know, I really do have some morals. I do actually care about people. And I do have a political standpoint.
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
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
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'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
I encouraged the cast to make up their own lines.
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 grew up in a culturally radical home, where strong emotions were forbidden.
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
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
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
I did a lot of strange things. But I am a bad Catholic that's for sure. Although I think it's difficult to believe in evil.
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
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
Evil gives you far more strings to pull. But I must say that I have never been interested in the psychology of evil, not in the slightest. Perhaps I'm not interested in evil, but in the dark sides of human beings.
Lars von Trier
I am very romantic about communism even still, but I know terrible things happened.
Lars von Trier
Perhaps the only difference between me and other people is that Ive always demanded more from the sunset.
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?
