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.

More quotes by 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
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 hope my films will never completely be without the ability to mark anybody.
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
Even if you feel all right, tell the actors you don't have full power, and they will help you.
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
Political correctness kills discussion.
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'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 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
A film has to be like a stone in the shoe.
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 encouraged the cast to make up their own lines.
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
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
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 am very romantic about communism even still, but I know terrible things happened.
Lars von Trier
Unfortunately, on one or both of my shoulders sits lots of anxiety and that is a controlling factor in my life.
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
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
