There were always questions about my parents; I got so fed up with that.

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.

I found it very difficult to explain to someone why you did a film. It's not like having a conversation.

Everyone gets the feeling that they know you and they know your life, and I felt really embarrassed by that.

I'm desperate to work again. I've often had those periods, but two years was the longest.

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