Quote: On Broadening Your Horizons

[wowie]

Now I will never get work in Denmark…. I must say that I respect the work of Lars von Trier and Peter Aalbæk a lot. I have never met them. But I think that what they have achieved is impressive. But they miss so much. Also as human beings not only as artists. And even to brag about it. I believe it is childish and silly. The Danes who travel and experience something; I am impressed by them. Like the Americans who travel and learn about the world. Because on that path lies the possibility to avoid war and racism and all that @#$%. The other path where you say ” No, I will not, they are idiots”; I believe it is very childish and not positive.

Welllll...to be completely fair, Lars Von Trier has a severe fear of traveling, especially flying. Though he is also quite rightly described as an arrogant bastard, he has a real medical reason for not traveling anywhere he can't drive.
