Beauty is on one level pure surface, and on the other hand, it's the most complex subject that we can touch upon because it says everything about us as people. It's a subject we very quickly begin to argue about. I think that's so interesting.

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

Understanding one's own power is more interesting than someone being given something powerful.

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've been making films with almost no dialogue (laughs), so sound and music become a very powerful character to tell the story. It's almost like with sound and music and images, it's your tool to tell the story, especially when I decide to structure the film in a way that usually goes against the conventions of the three-act structure which most films are made out of.

Personally I kept my feelings out of it and created a fantasy. That's the process of going through this world being beautiful.

Good and bad, what's good and bad? I don't know.
