brethren followed saying slight
I have a slight controversy with the Dogme brethren because I've been saying that rules are to be interpreted; not that I haven't followed the rules, because I don't see the point of submitting yourself to a set of rules if you don't follow them. But having said that, it is always a lot of interpretation.
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.
human
I think it's extremely difficult consistently being a decent human being.
idyllic society
You don't have to go very far away from Scandinavia to realize what an idyllic society it is.
director female hesitant men movies nature slightly women
I've always been slightly hesitant about generalizing movies made by men and women being different in their nature; I think movies by each director are different. Having said that, I think that it's kind of disgraceful that there aren't more female directors.
amount nowhere ought society women
Women, nowhere in the world, have the kind of important position in society in the amount that they ought to have.
cannot certain human
There are certain things you cannot accept. There are certain things that human beings cannot tolerate.
danish people
A lot of people who live in Denmark will understand Danish but not necessarily speak it.
learned
I did learn a lot from 'Things We Lost in the Fire,' but I've learned different things from different films.
human humor
I don't feel that I'm strictly Danish; I don't feel that my sense of humor is strictly Danish or my human sensibility is strictly Danish.
