Personal Quotes

The strangest thing is that a religious film "beat" Lord of the Rings. In America they are interested mostly how quickly a movie makes its profits. That's the measure, that's what you can read about in the papers. I do not know what was the reason of the success of The Passion of the Christ. It's just that the film is too strong, too different from our idea of the christianity. In the time around Easter and Christmas we can watch films, in which everything is very sweet, very beautiful, in some way neuteral. Here things are different, I think.
