I used to hate being recognised.

When you love someone, you don't want them to suffer at all.

I didn't go to acting school, so it was great to be able to rehearse for a month or two, to workshop, and be with a director who even gave me acting exercises.

I like to play roles different from myself so I can hide behind them.

I love being a beginner. It can be a terrible feeling because you're ashamed of everything you do, but it's so exciting at the same time.

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.

Maybe, in the back of my head, I'm thinking I have to do as much as I can. It'll stop.
