About Me:
Storyboards are a disease on filmaking. I don't know what
the images I create mean, they just have to come out. Life
in the oceans must be sheer hell. A vast, merciless hell of
permanent and immediate danger. So much of a hell that
during evolution some species - including man - crawled,
fled onto some small continents of solid land, where the
Lessons of Darkness continue.

Who I Want to Meet:
The ecstatic truth. And oh yeah. as much as I loved hanging
out with Klaus, he is dead now. Yes, I sometimes feel like
he's still here, strangling me on the set of Cobra Verde,
but I then remember that he is dead. He once told me that he
loved the jungle, that the jungle was sex and eroticism. But
then he was scared of the jungle. He was wrong anyway, the
jungle is death. It is horrible things, evil things,
killing. To go to the jungle is to look at the very heart of
man.

that "for such an advanced civilization
as ours to be without images that are
adequate to it is as serious a defect
as to be without memory". Werner has
hypnotized me on more than one occasion
and made me dance like a chicken while
he rode around and around on a ski
lift. He is difficult to drive with
because he always goes in circles. I
didn't know how to stop the car from
circling so I threw some plates at it
to try and slow it down. Once when we
were filming "Auch Zwerge haben klein
angefangen" he actually promised us
that if we kept going and finish the
film, he'd jump into a pile of cacti.
We finished the film and he kept true
to his word. It was a heroic gesture,
but then again...when has Werner not
performed heroically?
