"Lars von Trier is not not somebody who is known for conducting a normal press conference ever!"

"I'm not someone who plays a part for the press junket."

"I mean look at Antichrist. He's not making films to be liked by everyone, so why is this so surprising coming from Lars von Trier?"

"I don't really want to talk about my personal experience. It's something that I have talked about just because it came out in the press but I've tried to navigate the waters in my own comfort-ability."

"I get to do all these crazy things in the movies. I'm a pretty chilled out person, actually... a very mellow person."

"It's interesting to watch people go through it in something like this. I mean, what other then Melancholia films do they portray depression in?"

"I can't watch my movies and get into them because as soon as I see myself I get taken out of the film."

"I'm not someone who is scared of doing things out of the box."

"I've learned to do a movie and then not be in that place for a long time."
