Famous Quotes

"Of course, we avoid death. To know something is inevitable is one thing. To accept, to truly feel it... that's different."
Michael Haneke on Death

"A man who won't die for something is not fit to live."
Martin Luther King, Jr. on Death
"To be idle is a short road to death and to be diligent is a way of life foolish people are idle, wise people are diligent."
Buddha on Death
"The fear of death is the most unjustified of all fears, for there's no risk of accident for someone who's dead."
Albert Einstein on Death
"The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time."
Mark Twain on Death
"Death is no more than passing from one room into another. But there's a difference for me, you know. Because in that other room I shall be able to see."
Helen Keller on Death

"To be perfectly honest, I think that as I'm growing older, I'm just growing more impatient. I'll be very happy if at some point people say, 'Michael's grown wiser and softer in his old age.' But we'll have to wait and see what my next project is."
"Films for TV have to be much closer to the book, mainly because the objective with a TV movie that translates literature is to get the audience, after seeing this version, to pick up the book and read it themselves. My attitude is that TV can never really be any form of art, because it serves audience expectations."
"Films that are entertainments give simple answers but I think that's ultimately more cynical, as it denies the viewer room to think. If there are more answers at the end, then surely it is a richer experience."
"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."
"I've never let producers tell me what to do. Even when I was making television, I always did what I wanted to do, and if I couldn't, I didn't do it. It was a freedom that, these days, young directors starting out don't have."
