As an actress, there's a lot of waiting. You wait for a script to come in that you want to do. You get to a point where you decide that if you want good things to be made, you're going to have to start making them yourself as an actress. You can't just wait around for it. But you can also just enjoy the breaks, and use them to kind of refuel. I've been working so long at this point that I don't mind the breaks. I think they make me better, actually.

When you get older, you feel better about yourself. You're not worried what other people think about you, in general. You just get more comfortable in your skin.

Lars von Trier is not not somebody who is known for conducting a normal press conference ever!

I can't wait to have kids one day. I want to have kids and a farm with lots of animals on a lake.

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.

A lot of people my age who are working right now have never acted; they get a show and suddenly they're making millions. It's always those people who get it fast who have the most trouble staying grounded and being themselves.

I love to produce, and I've directed two short films.
