You really can't explain how you do the things you do. I can't, anyway. I love certain actors, but sometimes they say the stupidest things about technique. I don't want to say something stupid.

I'm very mature for my age, but I'm also innocent in a lot of ways.

When you feel good is when you're not afraid to feel the worst.

You can never control who you fall in love with, even when you're in the most sad, confused time of your life. You don't fall in love with people because they're fun. It just happens.

I mean look at Antichrist. He's not making films to be liked by everyone, so why is this so surprising coming from Lars von Trier?

I get to do all these crazy things in the movies. I'm a pretty chilled out person, actually... a very mellow person.

I would always rather do a mediocre script with a great filmmaker than a great script with a mediocre filmmaker.
