Lars von Trier

More than anything, there are more images in evil. Evil is based far more on the visual, whereas good has no good images at all.

I sit there pouring out my woes year after year, coming up with one enormity after another about my mother and the way she let me down; but it doesn't make me any the less fearful.

If you want to provoke, you should provoke someone who is stronger than you, otherwise you are misusing your power.

People say, 'Where do you live?' and I say that theoretically, I live in London, but basically that's just where I go to change my suitcase. Otherwise, I'm always flying somewhere.

I'm not afraid of wanting money at all. Money will give me more power to do things that are truer to my spirit than what I'm already doing.

My background is in filmmaking, and my mentor is Dusan Makavejev, who combined fiction and documentary.
