I loved working with [ Lars Von Trier], but I've done two films before, so I was quite used to him.He's a man of incredible moods of course, but he's also a hugely perceptive man, and there's no getting away from that. And he's able to put that perception into something like film, so we're very lucky.

The truth is rarely true and never simple.

I think [ Lars Von Trier] is a fantastic filmmaker. No question. You've got to be ready for him. He's sharp and he's got a sharp tongue and I love that. He doesn't mind it back.

I've done lots of films with first directors, so it's not unusual for me.

When you're really working well with a director then you can be as outrageous as you like and so can he. And there's no worry about it.

I stopped asking a long time ago, "why would you want me to play that?" I'm an actor. That's what I do.
