Sometimes we misunderstand what films can do. We just throw a whole book in there, with people just talking, talking, and talking. The picture can tell, the frame can tell.

Yeah, I do all the stuff I can. Let’s be frank, if you are in an action film, you are not in it for the characters, you are in it for the action – the stunts. If they take that away from you, it’s a sad story. Ha ha! I have damaged everything: knees, elbows, ribs. But I’m an old gymnast. I know how to survive.

I ask a million questions, and I insist on having answers. I think that is what we have to do. I have to know what the director wants. Some are very much in their head, and I need to force it out of them. I just can't play around for eight hours and see if something happens.

I'd rather be voted "the sexiest man in Denmark" than "the ugliest man in Denmark".

I think it would be pretty cool if my kids were super kids.

I come from a culture where you don't divide it up to what you can do on TV and what you can do on film.

I'm a big fan of film for one reason: because it is visual.
