Ive been lucky. Ive made films that I really like. Its been a combination of what comes to me and what I choose. Ive gone after lots of things that I didnt get, pet projects that everybody ends up chasing after. Really, youre lucky if you get anything. – Hope Davis
Funny Games was conceived as a provocation. My other films are different. If people feel my other films are, or respond to them as provocation, then thats quite different. Funny Games is the only one of mine where my intention was to provoke the audience. – Michael Haneke
