I don't want to feel that I'm a singer or an actress - being able to say that those are just experiences is what I enjoy.

It rarely happens that I get to work again with the same director. I had such a wonderful time on Antichrist with Lars von Trier, that I was going to do whatever he proposed me to do. When he sent me the script of Christmas, I just loved it. I think I love anything he writes.

I still find it hard to push my own limits. I know where my limits are and that I always have to push myself.

I hope one day I will be able to be completely myself. Maybe I'll be wilder.

I felt that people would criticize everything. I was so scared about playing Paris. I was very much aware that the greatest concerts my father and mother had done were there. I was sure people would be very tough.

Even moving around onstage seemed very artificial. But at the same time you have to make that effort in order to get back to who you are and even accept not moving, if that's who you are.

I thought people wouldn't take me seriously if too much acting was involved in the singing. But now I love the idea of mixing everything together.
