Frank Dingenen told the newspaper Het Nieuwsblad: "An American channel wanted me to collaborate on an American version of 'Meester hij begint weer'. I decided to stay in Flanders. If you can reach 3 million Flemish people, should you be so ambitious as to want to reach 80 million people? Moreover, in America I was only allowed to write, not act. Acting is my first love.".
I don't want people to say: 'Frank Dingenen is a homosexual'. I feel different from other gays. The problem is that there are many excesses in that world: there are gay bars in every city, but I never go to those pubs. I hate twats and guys in leather jackets
