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 would love to be able to do a film. I would love to be able to focus on what excites me in watching actors.

There's always this thing of wanting to be elsewhere.

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.

Letting go of things and not being afraid of being ridiculous or over the top - I think that's the main thing for me to work on.

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 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.
