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

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.

Before I started touring, I worked with someone to help me, even physically, because I was so shy. And you can't be shy going onstage. So I had to push myself in a direction that wasn't myself.

I didn't want to change my personality onstage, but I still had to build some kind of ego to be able to go up there. If not, there's no point.

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

You don't even need the director's judgement. It's too much.

I came to understand that people come and see you because they like you. They don't come to throw things at you.
