I think it's a little simplistic to explain a work through the psychology of its author. In other words, that Haneke has emotional problems, so I don't have to take his films seriously. By using this argument, the viewer retreats from the challenges of the film. ↗

I want to make it clear: it's not that I hate mainstream cinema. It's perfectly fine. There are a lot of people who need to escape, because they are in very difficult situations, so they have the right to escape from the world. But this has nothing to do with an art form. ↗

In all of my work I'm trying to create a dialogue, in which I want to provoke the recipients, stimulate them to use their own imaginations. I don't just say things recipients want to hear, flatter their egos or comfort them by agreeing with them. I have to provoke them, to take them as seriously as I take myself. ↗

On the set I make jokes I can't get too involved, or it turns into sentimental soup. I try to keep it light. ↗

What I like are films that take me seriously, that don't treat me as more stupid than I am. ↗

You can use your means in a good and bad way. In German-speaking art, we had such a bad experience with the Third Reich, when stories and images were used to tell lies. After the war, literature was careful not to do the same, which is why writers began to reflect on the stories they told and to make readers part of their texts. I do the same. ↗

When your goal is to put on muscle mass you must increase your calorie intake as you increase the activity level being given to the muscle. ↗

People deal too much with the negative, with what is wrong. Why not try and see positive things, to just touch those things and make them bloom? ↗
