Susanne Bier Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Susanne Bier:

If I go home from a day of shooting, and I haven't at some point felt the magic, I'm really frustrated.

I generally edit quite heavily. In general, there aren't many scenes that are sitting where they sat in the script in the final form.

Having done a Dogme film taught me the beauty of simplicity and austerity.

Susanne Bier

A significant number of women who have been ill or had marital issues feel they have no value, and society is so keen on telling us that's the case.

Susanne Bier

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.

Susanne Bier

I think the good thing about Dogme is that it forces you into an extreme sense of reality because there's no artificial light and no set design and all of those icings on the cake that you usually have on a movie.

Susanne Bier

I quite like some of the movies that have many characters in them.

Susanne Bier

My favorite hobby is matchmaking. It's a lot easier to do it in movies then in real life because in real life, people don't do what I tell them to do.

Susanne Bier

I am very close to my family, and there's something life-affirming about that. Even if you feel completely different from them and have totally different views on politics and ethics, you're still family and have that immediate acceptance.

Susanne Bier

People don't necessarily do evil deeds because they want to; people happen to do something with horrible consequences even if they meant to be kind.

Susanne Bier

John le Carre's 'The Night Manager' is a relentlessly exhilarating thriller with profound emotional depths.

Susanne Bier

For the Oscars, I had a speech in my hand, and I just knew if I opened the piece of paper, I was going to be unable to read it. So I just thought, 'I'm going to say, as coherently as I can, whatever I can.'

Susanne Bier

My mother has had breast cancer twice. And my mother has always been this very positive human being: a glass-half-full type. Like, when she was in treatment and feeling really bad, she would always talk about some nurse that was particularly nice to her.

Susanne Bier

You don't have to go very far away from Scandinavia to realize what an idyllic society it is.

Susanne Bier

There are certain things you cannot accept. There are certain things that human beings cannot tolerate.

Susanne Bier

I have this almost obsessive desire to whomever is close to me: I want to have a very intense, close, intimate relationship with them.

Susanne Bier

I think possibly, as an artist, you're always treated with a certain respect but also with a certain sort of nervousness.

Susanne Bier

For years, whenever I'd been travelling and came back to Copenhagen, I'd think: 'People are so stylish.' And it's not any one class. It's everyday life.

Susanne Bier

Anders Thomas Jensen and I had talked about making a movie which addressed the cancer issue, and we didn't want to make it heavy-handed. We wanted to do something which had a lot of hope in it. And then for some reason we came up with a romantic comedy.

Susanne Bier

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

Susanne Bier

If I go home from a day of shooting, and I haven't at some point felt the magic, I'm really frustrated.

Susanne Bier

A lot of people who live in Denmark will understand Danish but not necessarily speak it.

I think that being Jewish has generated an extremely strong sense of the importance of family. If I look at my Scandinavian colleagues, they don't have that urgency about family. All my movies are about that.

Women, nowhere in the world, have the kind of important position in society in the amount that they ought to have.

Susanne Bier

Dogme is like leading a religious life, in that you are freeing yourself from making certain choices. It makes life easier.

Susanne Bier

I don't do a lot of rehearsal. I don't like rehearsals. I rehearse the day or morning. I spend one hour and a half with all the actors, and we go over the scenes, and we change it and change the dialogue, and we do a lot of things to it, but prior to shooting, I don't really rehearse.

Susanne Bier

I don't know that there's more bullying or whether it's just more talked about. It seems to me that possibly that there's been a lot of bullying all the time, but at the moment, it's something that people are talking about.

Susanne Bier

I'm a huge fan of Richard Curtis - there's real grief, real compassion in his films as well as cheekiness; it's a wonderful cocktail.

Susanne Bier

The main thing as a director, you always want to have a bit of a worry about the material you're going to get yourself into. You want to be a bit scared of it so that you have that excitement of having to climb the mountain.

Susanne Bier

As a filmmaker, I always try not to concern myself with the outcome of things. I make the movie, and I do that as honestly and good as I can. I don't want to pollute my thoughts with what is going to happen with it afterwards, because I have to work inside-out.
