Yeah, 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 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.
Mads MikkelsenI 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.
