If you're successful at a young age, no matter the profession, there has to come a time when you reevaluate everything, what it means to you. 'Is this what I want to do for the rest of my life?'

To be in someone's favorite film is just - that's what you want. You want to be in great films that are memorable.

I don't think that this movie is the kind of movie that a magazine like In Touch even cares about, if you know what I mean. It's a Lars von Trier film. They care about Moneyball, not Melancholia. They care about what I wear to Melancholia premieres; they don't really care about a Lars von Trier film.

You know how people say awards don't mean anything? Hello! I think the energy around them makes everyone cuckoo.

When you're in a depressed state, having something really bad happen gives you kind of a life again.

And sometimes, you need your knight in shining armour.

I've always used my own personal emotions and things that I've gone through in my life to build a character. The work that I do before a film feels almost like therapy, between me and whoever I'm playing.
