The frequency of divorce is extremely high after airplane hijackings. They're like crisis situations where suddenly you see a side of your partner that makes you think, "I don't want to continue living with this person anymore."

So many times after a catastrophe like 9/11, Estonia in Sweden, the Holocaust or whatever, we are so fond of lifting up the hero examples, but actually 99 percent of survivors have done something that they feel very guilty about.

Actually men are closer to having the ability to act egoistic when it comes to a crisis situation.

I think the actors take a great responsibility for the characters in the movie.

I'm not a genre film filmmaker. I'd rather look for a topic that I think we need to bring up and discuss because there's something about the issues in the film.

Why I'm interested in filmmaking is because a moving image is very, very powerful when it comes to changing human behavior.

I want my film to be possible to use as a reference when we are trying to live our lives.
