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

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.

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

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.

The very practice of reading [the Bible] will have a purifying effect upon your mind and heart. Let nothing take the place of this daily exercise.

On Wall Street, the lawyers play the same role as medics in war: They come in after the shooting is over to clean up the mess.

Whoever named Himmel Street certainly had a healthy sense of irony. Not that is was a living hell. It wasn't. But is sure as hell wasn't heaven, either.

In love, there is no distinction between success and failure. If love remains then even separation is union otherwise even union is separation.

Perhaps one day I will go into space.

What the hell do you want to work for somebody else for? Work for yourself!

God's used me to help turn their life around or give them hope, you know? It's very rewarding

My world got very big, very fast, and based on a lot of sad examples from the past, a lot of people expect me to get lost in it

Because I saw my parents relaxing in armchairs and reading and liking it, I thought it was a peaceful grown-up thing to do, and I still think that.

I don't belong to anyone.
