An Artist Is Someone Who Should Raise

Personally, I Can't Stand Violence. In Any Standard American Mainstream Movie, There's 20 Times More Violence Than In Any One Of My Films, So I Don't Know Why Those Directors Aren't Asked Why They're Such Specialists For Violence.

Never Say No. It Always Depends On What's Possible. I Don't Care So Much Where It Is; It's What I Want To Do That Matters.

You Cannot Hurt Animals, So What Do I Do? I Kill The Dog First. Then I Do It With The Boy. You're Not Supposed To Break The Illusion Of This Being A Film, So I Make The Actor Talk To The Audience. Provocation Is The Principle Of The Whole Film [ Funny Games]. It Is Very Ironic.

Awards Are Important For All Directors Because They Improve Your Working Conditions. You're Only As Good As Your Last Film, So If You Get Prizes Or Large Audiences, Then You Get More Money For Your Next Film.

As A Private Person, Professionally I Am Invisible.
