Machiavelli had some cold tricks for people who wanted to be demagogues and wanted to take over the world.

I became a dancer late and an actor late.

I do read some of the scripts from America and, even though the themes or subject of the film is very interesting, and some of the scenes are very interesting, there is a tendency that they have to explain everything. There will be no dilemma. This guy was evil, and this girl was very sweet. And in the end, we'd have to see eight endings because we'd also have to know what happened to the uncle. It's like, "Are you kidding me?!"

If you're playing the bad guy, you have to find what you like about them.

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.

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.
