The act of creation can be an extreme violent experience.

I've stopped showing actors what to actually do. I rather just talk to them about it. Then I usually play music. That's a great way to convey inner emotion, bring the power of style and acting together. That's really what it is, very good acting without talking.

We have basic urges all the time. They just manifest themselves in different scenarios, and we have to turn those weaknesses into our strengths. Art is very much about making your weaknesses your strength.

I think that Danish people may be thought off as the happiest people, but honestly...I love America.

Only God Forgives was very much a generation gap in a way. It was all the youth of the world that embraced it. I make films for young people. That's what I will continue to do.

Everything we do is about the emotion of the characters. We believe the better the emotion, the better the movie.

I love watching the superhero movies and I would love to make one.
