It's nice when the movie is not on your shoulders, too. It's fun to do a smaller part sometimes.

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.

I used to feel like I had to be the best at what I did, but I realized I don't have to be the best. It's so freeing. I've never been this happy.

I've never had a teenage rebellion, I'm not that type of person. I always work out my problems in a conscientious way.

People always tell me, Don’t work so much, but I can’t help it. I feel like all the things I’ve done are important to get to this adult stage now and now I’m getting all these adult offers, so it’s working.

It's interesting to watch people go through it in something like this. I mean, what other then Melancholia films do they portray depression in?

When you're little, you're open to things. It's not like you get into this rehearsed zone when you're a child. At first you play different sides of yourself. And I think it will be really exciting one day to have a character to go into that's not anything like me whatsoever.
