Casting a film, you can have the greatest actors in a film and it doesn't work. It's a combination of all of the elements.

I treat everyone as equals. I can't work if I'm not having fun, and I can't have fun if not everyone is happy.

There was a Russian director named Elem Klimov, who did his films during the communist days. They were constantly struggling with the authorities and to be allowed to express themselves. But he did one of the best war movies I've ever seen - it's called 'Come and See.'

I'm in Stockholm in my office. I just got here after seeing my eighth child on an ultrasound, so I'm in a good mood. It's beautiful: an energetic little skeleton.

Actors are different. Some actors play themselves very successfully, but I come from the theater. Having done Shakespeare, we sometimes did three or four characters in the same play.

if a real God were actually so vain as to constantly demand worship, then he would not be worth it.

Unfortunately, the way the world is constructed, a lot of people have no chance, from day one.
