Elephant Man [movie] was much more difficult physically. This had a couple of days. It was quite tricky. I had my leg strapped up behind me and I am a little older now. It was all marvelous, though. He [Bong Joon-ho] is one of the most fabulous directors in the world.

One wonders sometimes, looking at the world, how it's dealing with itself. There are days when you wake up and you feel very optimistic and there are days when you feel pessimistic.

If you listen, you learn; if you talk, you don't.

I've never known what I've wanted to do. I've never planned anything in my life.

Society is constantly recalibrating, redefining what it considers to be moral and immoral.

I love working with Lars [von Trier]! I've worked with him three times. I did the narration of Dogville and Manderlay.

I am really the victim of other people's imagination.
