Quote by Michael Haneke

“I'm not someone who enjoys long talks, long rehearsals. I'm very technical: I tell my actors, you come in, you sit down, you pick up a coffee, you look here, you say the line. We try it with the cameras rolling, and if it doesn't work, we adjust it until it does. It's very simple.”

“If you're gonna tell a story from beginning to end, I always think you have to have a great structure in a script. If it gets you excited and it's something you've never read before that's another plus.

“We [the USA] do have a big nation's problem. We have the problem of a nation that's got two oceans, oceans on either side.

It's just higher the high, the lower the low.”
