Sometimes we misunderstand what films can do. We just throw a whole book in there, with people just talking, talking, and talking. The picture can tell, the frame can tell.

I've always been extremely physical. I was a gymnast for 15 years, and then I was a dancer for nine, so I was kind of looking for these parts. But we have a tendency in Denmark not to do many action films.

Before we made films about gangsters, everything was about the royal families. They contain so much drama.

If David Bowie wants, I'll put him in my phone book.

I was into sports and swimming as a kid and didn't spend a whole lot of time sitting down. I was a gymnast.

I was not into sci-fi, science fiction, at all. I was into some of the old pirate films with Burt Lancaster and stuff. I liked them.
