I also believe on a practical level, if you're taking time away from people, besides entertaining them, I think it's important that there's something to react to.

There will always be a theatrical experience because there will always be cinemas no matter what. It's like there will always be theaters to have stage plays in.

I always say I have a Danish passport, but I am a New Yorker at heart.

I think that's the struggle of our normality is that we have oppressed desires because of what is accepted and not accepted in society.

I was in Hollywood. It's the mythology heart. It's where all the European films came in the '30s and '40s. The marriage between Europe and Hollywood has always been the best when it works.

I certainly believe that creativity must be an experience. If I'm to steal time away from people, we should give them something to react to.

I never look at the internet because then you just have nothing else to do but just look. Most generally, and even myself as a consumer, you think you know what you want. But what's more interesting is figuring out what you don't want. I think the only way that I can do that is just to do what I think is right. That is the only real gesture of respect. Then people can react to the movie how they want to react.
