At the moment, I'm focusing on these kind of "small" films - maybe after that, I will make bigger films in English.

I found my personal style in black humor and mixing funny things with very touching ones - like trying to force people to cry and smile almost at the same moment.

A body - physical, astral, dead - might be treated as an object, might be adored and hated. So this story has emerged from the material that the body is.

Poland and my roots are very important for me. That's why I decided to make a feature film in Poland, and with only Polish money.

This mixture of Polish, not Polish, of being European, gives me a perspective to see Poland through "new eyes" - paradoxically, more closely... because it's from a kind of distance.

My horizons are also broadened by working with so many people around Europe. They taught me what I never would have learned just staying in my own country.

The attitude of the Catholic Church towards homosexuality is well known - it is treated as something unnatural, even as a disease.

My films are doing well in Polish cinemas, so I don't really have problems financing them, and my international accolades are helpful.

People don't understand that my films is not about being scandalous - it's about being critical of our own society.

My film is very simple: An Eastern European story full of black humor about things everyone can feel and understand.

There are two kinds of special events: planned and unplanned.

Once you've chosen a man, don't try to change him, I wrote, with more confidence. It can't be done. More important -- don't let him try to change you. He can't do it either, but men always try.

It's hard to be done a favor by a man you hate. It's hard to hate him so much afterwards. Losing an enemy can be worse than losing a friend, if you've had him for long enough.

If only one tooth aches, rejoice that not all of them ache.... If your wife betrays you, be glad that she betrayed only you and not the nation.

Filmmaking is incredible introspective. It forces you to sort of examine yourself in new ways.

If you write one story, it may be bad; if you write a hundred, you have the odds in your favor.

Meet the sun every morning as if it could cast a ballot.

Friends are God's apology for relations.

Hard work IS its own reward. Integrity IS priceless. Art DOES feed the soul.

I feel akin to the Platypus. An orphan in a family. A swimmer, a recluse. Part bird, part fish, part lizard.
