I've always had a process that I do before I even get to set or go to the location. I work privately, and it almost feels like therapy between me and who I'm playing. So I have this inner life that's there and it gives me a confidence, too, that when I'm playing the role I know every question.

I hate red carpet photographs!

You know that feeling when you wake up in the morning and you're excited for the day? That's one of my main goals in life.

I think the best thing about my job is that I have my life documented, which not many people get to have. They have a photo here and there and maybe some video footage from a birthday. My kids will be able to see me growing up.

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.

I mean look at Antichrist. He's not making films to be liked by everyone, so why is this so surprising coming from Lars von Trier?

I didn't go to Cirque Lodge for alcohol abuse or drug abuse.
