“I really want to do something in Europe. With a small movie, it can be an interesting challenge. But I have to get the right project. I don't think it's so important to go to Hollywood.

“It is not just that it is profoundly offensive to the leaders and people of a democratic Germany to paint Hitler on the wall (or on the remnants of the Wall). It is also consummately counterproductive. Such sauce does not make the meat of substantive criticism more interesting. It means that the whole dish is pushed away. It does not mean that Britain's voice is listened to more attentively in the councils of Europe. It means that it is listened to even less.” PeopleMeanDoeWholeVoiceInterestingLeaderWallEuropeCriticismDemocraticPaintMeatGermanyBritainDishesOffensiveCouncilSauceRemnantsCounterproductivePushed Away Author:Timothy Garton Ash

“I think Scandinavian Paganism, to us here, is more interesting than any other. It is, for one thing, the latest; it continued in these regions of Europe till the eleventh century; 800 years ago the Norwegians were still worshipers of Odin. It is interesting also as the creed of our fathers; the men whose blood still runs in our veins, whom doubtless we still resemble in so many ways.” ThinkingMenWayYearsStillsRunningFatherInterestingOne ThingBloodCenturyHe ManEuropeYears AgoRegionsCreedsVeinsOur FatherPaganismNorwegiansOdinScandinaviansWiccan Author:Thomas Carlyle
“I remember in the Carpenter version, you got acquainted with the characters and really knew them. It was a real character piece. Each actor was serviced in the movie, and we tried to do that in this movie as well. I like the fact that there was a European, first-time director. I'd known of him because I'm from Europe. I knew him as a commercial director and thought one of his commercials was great. I thought it was an interesting take on such a big-budget cult classic.” FirstsWellsRealCharacterFactsBigsRememberActorsInterestingKnownPiecesDirectorsFirst TimeEuropeVersionsBudgetsClassicCultCarpenterReal Character Author:Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje

“What interested me the most was that when I [traveled to Europe] I knew what Joseph Beuys was doing, he knew what I was doing, and we both, we just started to talk. How did I know what Daniel Buren was doing, and to an extent, he knew exactly what I was doing? How did everybody know? It's an interesting thing. I'm still fascinated by it because, why is it now, with the Internet and everything else, you get whole groups of artists who have chosen to be regional?

“I think the other thing that's interesting about the women's peloton is that if you ask what their background is most have played college sports, and a lot of times have come off of injury and have gotten on a bike.

“Argentina is a very interesting culture because unlike Europe and the US, they did not abandon rock and roll music, they did not turn their backs on it. It's an important part of their culture.

“Rivers are inherently interesting. They mold landscapes, create fertile deltas, provide trade routes, a source for food and water; a place to wash and play; civilizations emerged next to rivers in China, India, Europe, Africa and the Middle East. They sustain life and bring death and destruction. They are ferocious at times; gentle at times. They are placid and mean. They trigger conflict and delineate boundaries. Rivers are the stuff of metaphor and fable, painting and poetry. Rivers unite and divide - a thread that runs from source to exhausted release.” MeanPlayRunningNextStuffWaterInterestingMiddlePaintingSourceCivilizationConflictEuropeRiversDestructionIndiaTradeEnvironmentalMetaphorChinaEastBoundariesReleaseLandscapeGentleDividesMiddle EastThreadExhaustedRoutesTriggersMoldFablesFertilePlacidDeltaPainting And Poetry Author:Edward Gargan
