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.

More quotes by 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'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
Perhaps the only difference between me and other people is that Ive always demanded more from the sunset.
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
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
Political correctness kills discussion.
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
I hope my films will never completely be without the ability to mark anybody.
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
Just the fact that you're working is good for you.
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 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
Unfortunately, on one or both of my shoulders sits lots of anxiety and that is a controlling factor in my life.
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
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
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 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.
