The filmmaker is really important to me: it could be their first film; it's not just about their reputation, but I have to really believe in them.

I think for everyone it's good to have your own personal work on a character and a film before you even start rehearsing, to have an inner life.

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.

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

I've seen 'karma' slap people in the face. You have to be good to people. It really does come around.

The real secret to total gorgeousness is to believe in yourself.

I don't really want to talk about my personal experience. It's something that I have talked about just because it came out in the press but I've tried to navigate the waters in my own comfort-ability.
