Fritz Lang

My private life has nothing to do with my films.

I am profoundly fascinated by cruelty, fear, horror and death. My films show my preoccupation with violence, the pathology of violence.

I like folk songs, but ten horses couldn't bring me to a concert or an opera.

I hate the bad rap that people give my parents. Because they are just parents, really, at the end of the day trying to stand up for their daughter and themselves.

I've never really been somebody who likes to hit it straight. That's just never been my forte, I guess.

Hollywood is a place where they'll pay you a thousand dollars for a kiss and fifty cents for your soul.
