'Funny Games' was conceived as a provocation. My other films are different. If people feel my other films are, or respond to them as provocation, then that's quite different. 'Funny Games' is the only one of mine where my intention was to provoke the audience. ↗

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. ↗

Personally, I can't stand violence. In any standard American mainstream movie, there's 20 times more violence than in any one of my films, so I don't know why those directors aren't asked why they're such specialists for violence. ↗

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

I've never had any delusions about being a leading man, and it's not sour grapes to say that in the best films that I've always enjoyed, the cliched leading man type isn't a part of the picture. ↗

We've been working with the very best in the business. The studio really just let us alone to make the films. ↗

All we try and do is make the best films we can. If you do that then hopefully the audiences will come, and they have. Everything else is gravy. ↗

I look forward to having the time and the opportunity to take on new challenges, but I'm also aware that I've loved every minute of the 'Potter 'experience: to make films for an enthusiastic audience and work with great material. ↗

Generally in my films like 'Hearts of Darkness' or 'Picture This,' I try not to make myself a presence in the film. ↗
