A Woman Is Subject Matter Enough.

My Father Wanted Me To Be A Pharmacist Like Himself. He Had Been A Doctor, But He No Longer Believed In Medicine; So He Became A Pharmacist, But He Believed In That Hardly More.

I Wanted To Make A Film About Stupid People That Was Very Vulgar And Deeply Stupid. From That Moment On I Can Hardly Be Reproached For Making A Film That Is About Stupid People.

I'm Not Pessimistic About People In General, But Only About The Way They Live.

I Remember An Article, I Can't Recall Who By, It Was After The Fall Of The Berlin Wall, Which Said That Now The Wall Was Down, There Could Be No More Class War. Only Someone With Money Could Ever Say Such A Thing.

You Make A Film To Distract People, To Interest Them, Perhaps To Make Them Think, Perhaps To Help Them Be A Little Less Naive, A Little Better Than They Were.
