Fritz Lang

My private life has nothing to do with my films.

I am profoundly fascinated by cruelty, fear, horror and death. My films show my preoccupation with violence, the pathology of violence.

I like folk songs, but ten horses couldn't bring me to a concert or an opera.

Hollywood is a place where they'll pay you a thousand dollars for a kiss and fifty cents for your soul.

I've never really been somebody who likes to hit it straight. That's just never been my forte, I guess.

I hate the bad rap that people give my parents. Because they are just parents, really, at the end of the day trying to stand up for their daughter and themselves.
