Life is short and the older you get, the more you feel it. Indeed, the shorter it is. People lose their capacity to walk, run, travel, think, and experience life. I realise how important it is to use the time I have.

I've never played a Dane in a movie. I've had offers to be in Danish movies, including for some good directors, but I either had a job at the time or, when I was available, the movie just didn't happen. Hopefully someday I'll do one.

I pursue the things I do because I'm interested in them.

I like naturally occurring film grain, and what happens to film when it's under- and over-exposed.

As Martin Luther King said, "Passively to participate in an unjust system is to accept that system and to participate in its evil."

Ignorance breeds antipathy. Until I got to know how computers worked, I didn't want anything to do with them. I said, 'Well, why do I need them? I write letters.' Which I still do.

I love rehearsing, but a lot of directors don't, and some actors don't.
