country culture thailand
I've never left my culture. I've left my country, but I've not left my culture. In the same way, you shouldn't be worried why George Lucas is going to the outer galaxy to make a movie. He's still making a film within his culture; he's making an American film. I go to Thailand or the Peruvian jungle, the Amazon, and I still make Bavarian films.
dream country reading
I'm one of the few reading and thinking people who loves Las Vegas for the vulgarity and omnipresence of the dream. The collective dream. There's something enormous about it. Let me say one thing: Las Vegas and cinema have similar roots. The country fair. The magician at the country fair. The vulgarity of the country fair.
country october language
The beauty of Netflix is on the 28th of October they push a button and the film will be in 190 countries at the same moment in 17 languages.
country punishment citizens
I could not become an American citizen. I would not like to become a citizen of a country that has capital punishment.
dream country sex
The Rogue Film School is not for the faint-hearted. It is for those who have travelled on foot, who have worked as bouncers in sex clubs or as wardens in a lunatic asylum, for those who are willing to learn about lock picking or forging shooting permits in countries not favoring their projects. In short: for those who have a sense of poetry. For those who are pilgrims. For those who can tell a story to four year old children and hold their attention. For those who have a fire burning within. For those who have a dream.

fills joy
It fills me with joy to see Dieter (Dengler) again.
apart bare dealer looking mean milk people
I can tell those apart who can milk a cow, I mean with their bare hands. Sometimes people can tell by looking at someone, 'Aha, this must be a drug dealer or this must a lawyer.
easy films
Many of my films have not been easy work,
exists forgotten hidden knows minutes nobody
Only 30 minutes from where I live, there is a completely hidden and forgotten archive. Nobody even knows that this exists here.
attitude bears doubts help keeps love nature repeating respect simply toward wild
I have my doubts about his attitude toward wild nature and that he did anything to help the bears, ... Wild nature is simply wild, and we have to respect that. He keeps repeating to the bears 'I love you,' and I think that is wrong. You should respect the distance.
australian left matter whether
I have never left my culture. It doesn't matter whether I film with Australian aborigines or in Antarctica.
bigger build men pyramids
Yes, the pyramids have been built, but if you give me 300,000 disciplined men and give me 30 years, I could build a bigger one.
