If you're not bruised up, then you're not doing an action film in a real way.

I think 40 years ago, it would have been a little bit different because people had a tendency to think the actor was their part. I do find people who, all of a sudden, realize who is sitting in the restaurant and the first thing they react on is not necessarily, "There's that actor," but it's, "There's that killer guy."

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

I've always been extremely physical.

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

I'm in a very lucky position. You have to remember that 95 percent of all actors aren't working. I'm actually able to go to France and work. It's a situation I couldn't have dreamt up.

I was a gymnast for many years before I was a dancer, so it comes in pretty handy when I do stunts.
