I think you see in people's eyes what they've been through. Anything in their lives shows up in their eyes.

After “Melancholia” and “On the Road,” I wanted to do a comedy. And I did so many comedies when I was younger, but if you’re not consistently in those movies, people don’t always think of you for them.

My mother told me that when I was born a wave of feeling came over her. She just knew that I was destined to be an actress.

But the real secret to total gorgeousness is to believe in yourself, have self confindence, and try to be secure in your decisions and thoughts.

You can never get enough of 'Jeopardy.'

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

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.
