I've always been someone who is pretty hard on herself. But I've lightened up a lot.

I don't find I'm manic at all. I'm very chill.

It's hard to get lost in a scene, to get into a character when everyone's standing around you on the set.

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

New York vintage is too expensive!

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 get along really well with Lars [von Trier] but definitely during our first meetings I was feeling him out and he definitely says some things that are inappropriate and then you kind of get his sense of humour. I really enjoy him. He's one of my favourite people I've met now. So, he's pretty great.
