“I would say I'm basically interested in human beings, and I don't real...” — Susanne Bier Quote

I would say I'm basically interested in human beings, and I don't really care whether they're men or women. I think my comprehension is about the same for both.

I've had a very fortunate, very privileged life. I say it with all humility because it could change tomorrow.

Oftentimes, reality is much worse than what you can put in a movie.

I have a slight controversy with the Dogme brethren because I've been saying that rules are to be interpreted; not that I haven't followed the rules, because I don't see the point of submitting yourself to a set of rules if you don't follow them. But having said that, it is always a lot of interpretation.

Nothing has done more to separate and divide human beings one from another than exclusivist organized religion.

In those simpler days, you could just take pictures of movie stars and show them the way they were, as normal human beings. And if I felt part of any movement at the time, it was just to do that - to be journalistic and photograph what is, rather than what is made up.

Human beings are so made that the ones who do the crushing feel nothing; it is the person crushed who feels what is happening. Unless one has placed oneself on the side of the oppressed, to feel with them, one cannot understand.

The price of hating other human beings is loving oneself less.
