Famous quotes by Lars von Trier:

"Visible good easily becomes trite; visually there is very little material left-you know, you make a sunbeam pass over a character or a situation and it becomes far too pathetic and banal."

"I'd toyed with a couple of ideas beforehand, but I hadn't written a single cue, and it was a wonderful feeling to just write away."

"My transgression, which I have confessed to countless times, that I used stand-ins in the sex-scene is also of a grave nature because it was essential for me to include that effect. Again this means that you are manipulating-that you want to control things."

"If you tell a man what to do in real life, to which extent is it reality and to which extent are you in control?"

"Actors need bricks to play with, and in fact we rejected all the improvised fragments we had made without a plan. Improvisation without a plan is like tennis without tennis balls."

"I think it's important that we all try to give something to this medium, instead of just thinking about what is the most efficient way of telling a story or making an audience stay in a cinema."

"Perhaps it sounds pretentious, but in one way or another I hope that you can see that every image contains an idea. It certainly sounds presumptuous-and perhaps it's also untruthful. But as I see it, every image and every cut is thought out. They are not there by chance."

"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."

"One morning I greeted the cast naked in the front drive and insisted that today was to be a nude day. No, we didn't have any nudity problems."

"If one devalues rationality, the world tends to fall apart."

"When I was in film school, it was said that all good films were characterised by some form of humour."

"You could say that when you introduce humour to your work, you also step back a little from it. You create a distance."

"I grew up in a culturally radical home, where strong emotions were forbidden."

"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."

"I sit there pouring out my woes year after year, coming up with one enormity after another about my mother and the way she let me down; but it doesn't make me any the less fearful."

"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."

"I'm happy that I'm alive. I feel like someone coming back from Vietnam, you know; I'm sure that later on I'll start killing people in a square somewhere, but right now, I just feel happy to be alive."

"I had an almost fetishistic attraction to film technology."

"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."
