Personally, I like films that make me a little bit uncomfortable because I think you're uncomfortable when something is real.

When I see a movie with someone it's kind of uncomfortable.

For me, it's painful to make a movie. It's not my normal rhythm.

Commercial movies have no feeling, no sensitivity. Most people tell me people won't understand films with feeling. But everyone can feel.

If we didn't want to upset anyone, we would make films about sewing, but even that could be dangerous. But I think finally, in a film, it is how the balance is and the feelings are. But I think there has to be those contrasts and strong things within a film for the total experience.

Pain is temporary, film is forever.

I don't seek discomfort. But, very often, you realise that what you fear is actually quite ephemeral; something's different, something's unfamiliar; therefore, it must be worse.

On every film you suffer, but on some you really suffer.

All discomfort comes from suppressing your true identity.
