I Try To Get Closer To Reality,

I Consider All My Films Experiments.

Classicism Becomes Avant-garde When Everyone Else Is Doing Their Utmost To Develop New Stylistic Forms. I Think It's Healthy To Return To Classical Forms.

You'll See More Violence In Any Television Crime Series Than You Will In My Films Art Is There To Have A Stimulating Effect, If It Earns Its Name. You Have To Be Honest, That's The Only Thing.

In My Film "benny's Video," I Depicted Violence But I Failed To Say All That I Had To Say, So I Wanted To Continue The Dialog And That's Why I Did "funny Games." The Irony Is That After I Shot "funny Games," But It Hadn't Been Released At All Anywhere.

And If There Was One Title That Could Be Applied To All My Films, It Would Be 'civil War' - Not Civil War In The Way We Know It, But The Daily War That Goes On Between Us All.
