I think it's best to date someone who doesn't do what you do.

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.

If I'd trusted myself and listened to myself all the times that I ignored myself, I would have been fine. But everyone has to learn their lesson, and now I've got it.

It's such a private thing - 'my process' - I can just say that the work that I do is like therapy between me and the character.

Obviously I’m a feminist. It’s ridiculous that anyone would think other of me.

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

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