- Quotes[on working with Milos Macourek on Král Ubu (1996)]: "He said to me a beautiful sentence, "Franta, you are perhaps even more surrealist than I am." I didn't really understand it, so he added: "You think so abstractly and absurdly that your ideas are even bigger than mine." This was said to me by the man who perfectly switches characters' brains in You Are a Widow, Sir! (1971). But we didn't quite fit together. He also wrote letters to my wife, telling her that I was terrible and didn't understand the film, that all I could see was the pictures, while storytelling also needs to follow certain logic and patterns. He was a genius in that cleverness, and I was a partner in that imagery, who can make up for anything with that imagery. But it wasn't easy."
