depressing thinking important
I think it is kind of depressing how few female filmmakers there are. I think it is in general depressing how few women there are in ... important positions in society
human
I think it's extremely difficult consistently being a decent human being.
future jewish lack
I think the lack of automatically feeling, 'Yes, the future is going to be like the present' - that is very much a Jewish thing.
artificial cake design extreme forces good reality
I think the good thing about Dogme is that it forces you into an extreme sense of reality because there's no artificial light and no set design and all of those icings on the cake that you usually have on a movie.
cannot guess pretend strongly third
I guess I strongly feel that we cannot pretend that the Third World is not part of our world. We cannot say 'OK, there's that problem over there, let's just close our eyes' - we cannot do that.
I don't want actors to be writers. I think it's too much responsibility.
I never have particular actors planned when I'm in the process of writing.
