I started as a model in Holland and Chanel took me to New York when I was 19, after which I decided to stay.

I love the first two X-Men movies because I thought that Bryan Singer did such a great job. He elevated that whole genre. He's a very talented director.

I keep pushing buttons and trying to grow as a person and as a filmmaker.

As a European I had fit in almost seamlessly in New York for the last 25 years, but in Oklahoma I stood out like a sore thumb.

I don't think about better. You just want it to work. You want it to work and you have your guide with the script. You want it to exist and complete.

I'm very grateful for work especially in film industry. It's highly competitive and there are a lot of people standing behind me jumping at the opportunity to only do one thing, like one movie or one TV show or one episode.

During my first visit, I was really struck by how deeply religious many Oklahomans are. It is a very conservative state and as somebody who grew up in a very liberal country, it was jarring to me at first.
