I Don't Need A Psychiatrist. I Can

My Feeling, However, Is That Films That Are Open Are More Productive For The Audience. The Films That, If I'm In A Cinema, And I'm Watching A Movie That Answers All The Questions That It Raises, It's A Film That Bores Me. In The Same Way, If I'm Reading A Book That Doesn't Leave Me With Questions, Moving Questions, That I Feel Confronted With, Then For Me It's A Waste Of Time. I Don't Want To Read A Book That Simply Confirms What I Already Know.

As A Private Person, Professionally I Am Invisible.

In My Film "benny's Video," I Depicted Violence But I Failed To Say All That I Had To Say, So I Wanted To Continue The Dialog And That's Why I Did "funny Games." The Irony Is That After I Shot "funny Games," But It Hadn't Been Released At All Anywhere.

I Give The Spectator The Possibility Of Participating. The Audience Completes The Film By Thinking About It; Those Who Watch Must Not Be Just Consumers Ingesting Spoon-fed Images.

I've Never Let Producers Tell Me What To Do. Even When I Was Making Television, I Always Did What I Wanted To Do, And If I Couldn't, I Didn't Do It. It Was A Freedom That, These Days, Young Directors Starting Out Don't Have.
