I imagined that it might be awkward to talk to your wife about her performance, so going into it I was a little nervous. But doing it was actually a wonderfully inspiring experience.

To see my wife getting inspired from my notes and thoughts, going in the direction I wanted, and have her surprise me with wonderful choices was a real treat.

I got to work with my wife, Lena Olin, for the first time, which was great. I thought it might be difficult in some way to talk to one's wife in a different way but it was so not forced.

I feel the need to work with my wife, Lena Olin, again.

I think I avoid stepping into sentimentality by trying to be as truthful as possible with performances.

I am always more interested in performance and character depiction, and my direction says as much.
