The Jews Have Never Been Ashamed Of

Since I'm Not A Second Marx Or Freud Who Can Offer People Alternatives, I Have To Let Them Keep Their Own Wrong Feelings. And I Don't Believe That Melodramatic Feelings Are Laughable-they Should Be Taken Absolutely Seriously.

As Long As Movies Are Depressing, Life Isn't.

Every Decent Director Has Only One Subject, And Finally Only Makes The Same Film Over And Over Again. My Subject Is The Exploitability Of Feelings, Whoever Might Be The One Exploiting Them. It Never Ends. It's A Permanent Theme. Whether The State Exploits Patriotism, Or Whether In A Couple Relationship, One Partner Destroys The Other.

So Certainly, If We Can Tell Evil Stories To Make People Sick, We Can Also Tell Good Myths That Make Them Well.

Better A Street-sweeper In Mexico Than A Filmmaker In Germany!
