It's always nice when people appreciate your work because it means you've affected them, which is great. And so that feels good.

I'm the kind of person who buys a new thing, wears it so much and then is totally sick of it.

Rare are the people who can capture a human being.

For me, my favourite actresses are like Charlotte Rampling or Gena Rowlands... people who have always stepped outside of the restraints of a certain type of woman or story. I always like those movies the best.

Charlotte Rampling is someone I've wanted to work with for a very long time. I've always looked up to her as an actress and it's a reason why I feel brave to do a film like Melancholia. So, to me she's the ultimate.

I like to think that death gives life meaning. I like that philosophy.

I've learned to do a movie and then not be in that place for a long time.
