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

You know, 'Viggo' is a pretty dorky name in Denmark. It's like 'Oswald' or something. It's a very old Scandinavian name, at least 1,000 years old.

Pinochet and Barack Obama both have the same primary goal, and that's to be president and stay president as long as allowed.

When you're under stress as a human being, you behave oddly and your relationships with people become strained.

The first decade of your life is really important; it's formative.

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

In the end, the actor's main power is the power to say, 'No.'
