Lars von Trier Quotes

It's fun doing new things.

Often, the fact that I haven't done something as a writer is all the reason I need to try it.

Do what you haven't done is the key, I think.

It's fun to be on the edge. I think you do your best work when you take chances, when you're not safe, when you're not in the middle of the road, at least for me, anyway.

I like new challenges and new experiences.

Whatever I know how to do, I've already done. Therefore I must always do what I do not know how to do.

What I enjoy most is doing something I've never done before.

I'm always trying to do stuff I haven't done before or challenge myself so I'm not resting on my laurels all of the time because if I just found my little niche and never left it, I'd be pretty boring, I think.

I always want to keep challenging myself to do something that I don't even have the foresight to know what it's going to be.

There's no point sitting here, using words that mean nothing. Go and experiment. It's time you got out of here. Go and re-conquer your kingdom, which has grown corrupted by routine. Stop repeating the same lesson, because you won't learn anything new that way.

Go find something that you haven't done before. Don't do the same thing over and over again.

It's only when you risk failure that you discover things. When you play it safe, you're not expressing the utmost of your human experience.

I do not like to repeat successes, I like to go on to other things.

Life is too short not to experiment.

When someone asks me to do something, something new, something I don't know about, and if I haven't done it, I'll say yes. Just so I can try something new. You never know what you might like.

I always want to do different things. I'm always obsessed with trying to do different things.

I have that thrill-seeking mentality, so when people want to know why my incarnations keep changing, or why I'll do something different than I did before, it's that same impulse.

I like doing things that are different, unexpected, and where I feel that either the role feels like a natural fit for me or it's a really big swing that I don't know if I'm going to connect on.

I just don't like boring myself. That's one of the main reasons I did 'Ice Age' - because I'd never done something like this before.

You have to keep challenging yourself. I've always tried to do that, and I'm not saying I've always been successful. Maybe I've rewritten the same song; it's inevitable, but I've always been mindful of taking the writing somewhere else. You can't stick in your little comfort zone.

I always like to do something different, something unusual, stray off the path a bit.

More or less, I am always saying, 'Let's do what has not been done.'

It's definitely fun to play something you're not, which is always a good time.

It's always more interesting to do new things.

I want to try new things and just see what's out there.
