'Funny Games' was conceived as a provocation. My other films are different. If people feel my other films are or respond to them as provocation then that's quite different. 'Funny Games' is the only one of mine where my intention was to provoke the audience.
I love sports. Anytime I can combine sports with a film I'm a happy guy. It's such a natural fit because sports always seems to be a metaphor for life. Always always always.
