I take my work enormously seriously. When I do something, it has to feel right. Everything has to be right. Iโm not ambitious about my career, but I am ambitious with each job. I can be fairly annoying to work with. No compromises, letโs put it this way. Compromises are from hell.
Mads MikkelsenYeah, I do all the stuff I can. Letโs be frank, if you are in an action film, you are not in it for the characters, you are in it for the action โ the stunts. If they take that away from you, itโs a sad story. Ha ha! I have damaged everything: knees, elbows, ribs. But Iโm an old gymnast. I know how to survive.
Mads MikkelsenI'm one of the actors who really enjoys working with kids and animals, which is always a no go. There's something beautiful about it because you tend to forget yourself, as an actor.
Mads MikkelsenI was a very focused kid. I always had this crazy lifestyle... billions of jobs, two hours of gymnastics every day, handball, anything with a ball, really. I must have had ADHD or something. I was very energetic, and very small. I didn't start growing until the last year of high school.
