Lars Von Trier swears off all future interviews and public statements

Earlier this year, Lars Von Trier was booted from Cannes 2011 Film Festival after his comments in his panel for latest movie Melancholia. Yesterday he issued this public statement:

Today at 2pm I was questioned by the Police of North Zealand in connection with charges made by the prosecution of Grasse in France from August 2011 regarding a possible violation of prohibition in French law against justification of war crimes. The investigation covers comments made during the press conference in Cannes in May 2011. Due to these serious accusations I have realized that I do not possess the skills to express myself unequivocally and I have therefore decided from this day forth to refrain from all public statements and interviews.
