I think it's a legend that Lars von Trier is such a tough person to work with. I really didn't experience any of that. Of course, he's difficult in the sense that what he asks for is difficult. For my part in Antichrist, I suffered a bit. But it was the part - it wasn't him. He wasn't cruel. On the contrary, he was very kind. You know what you're up for when you read the pitch.

It's more than a job. It's very personal, so when you're hurt, you're really hurt inside.

I can't do things by myself. I need a motivation, and the motivation is always the director's. I find my freedom inside other people's barriers. It's easier for me to find myself inside someone else's tracks.

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.

I haven't found a comfortable place onstage. I'm sure it doesn't have to be comfortable, but I'm very nervous, so I don't enjoy myself.

I was so lucky because I started working very young. And my father was very wealthy and I didn't need to work. I did my films.

When you fight against your own weaknesses, there's something embarrassing about it.
