After making poor Kiki wish she'd been swallowed by the Earth in that now infamous Cannes press conference, and then coming through for her by helping her get one of the most prestigious acting awards in the world, Lars von Trier gave one of his most awesome interviews ever to Anne Thompson.
The interview is filled with amazing von Trierisms, my favorite of all being when he talked about Pé choosing Pirates of the Caribbean 4 over his little film:
It’s happened to me before this, these big actresses think that ‘ok he can just wait for me,’ which of course I could. But my problem, compared to other directors, is that I can’t work on more than one thing at a time. And that means that I should wait three quarters of a year doing nothing. So I chose to try something else.
Bless his mad genius heart. Read the whole interview here.
