  "...there are many reasons why america doesn’t attract me. first, i don’t like america. it’s too big. there are too many people. everybody runs around too quickly. there’s too much commotion, too much uproar. everybody pretends too hard that they’re happy there. but i don’t believe in their happiness, i think they’re just as unhappy as we are, except that we still talk about it sometimes but they only say that everything’s fine, that it’s fantastic. it gets on my nerves on a day-to-day basis, and unfortunately directing is life on a day-to-day basis. you have to spend half a year in a place, in a country, in order to do something. and if i were to be confronted for a whole year with people saying that everything’s fantastic then i simply couldn’t stand it.
  
  when americans asked me ‘how are you?,’ ı said ‘so-so.’ they probably thought somebody in my family had died. but ı simply had jet lag because ı’d been flying for seven hours and didn’t feel particularly well. but it was enough for me to say ‘so-so’ and they immediately thought that something tragic had happened. you can’t say ‘so-so.’ you have to say ‘well’ or ‘very well.’ the most optimistic thing ı can say is ‘ı’m still alive.’ so ı’m not cut out for america for that reason...of course, ı can’t go to america because they don’t allow cigarettes, so there certainly are enough reasons for my not being attracted to america."
