- What scares you?
I don't like long lines in the toilet after I drink four glasses of beer.

I think from childhood we remember all of those little rumors that just killed you. Because they were lies. But the more you said it was a lie, the more people believe that they are true. <...> I remember the feeling [that they cause]: it was all so unfair, so unfair... I remember that feeling". <...> Believe that we all easily imagine ourselves in a situation when you are accused of something is just as bad [as the hero of "Hunting"]. You didn't do it, but you don't know how to tell people about it. You can say, "I didn't do this," unable to laugh or to cry, unable to do anything, but people will still look at you like this: "yeah, of course." And it's hard.

- You took seriously the fact that you named the sexiest man in Denmark?
- I take it very seriously when it happened. It was 14 years ago. I can still pull the magazine out of the drawer and say, "Honey, do you realize who you're married? For those who 14 years ago was the sexiest man".

I once found myself in the magazine that I bought my daughter when she was 12. There was Orlando bloom. And suddenly there appears a photo of her father and she had a reaction of "ugh! What is it?" It seems a bit wrong.

It is sensitive, but not in the way he loves all beautiful things - art, food, people. And all of a banal he would prefer to kill or to ignore.

So, from his point of view, it is not rude, but just another perspective.

- What do you like Hannibal?
- The way he dresses. These are things I would never put them on, so I'm interested to come here in the morning in clothes from Adidas to change into his costume.

The first girl who broke my heart, her name was Tina. She was a few years older than me. We met for several months. Then all of a sudden she lost interest in me. Isn't that heartbreaking? I was the smallest kid in school, funny guy. So she met with me for a while, that was that.

I ask a million questions, and I insist on answers.

I treat my work very seriously. When I do something, I have to do it well. Everything must be right. I'm not ambitious about my career but I ambitious in each work. I can highly irritate those who work with me. No compromises. Let's just say the compromise from hell.

Sometimes we misunderstand what a film. To cram into movies the whole books where people talk for three hours - that's unacceptable. Do not forget that even one shot, one detail can tell a story, if you do have an accent.

I have clearly articulated the principle. I always try to find something good in bad guys and Vice versa - the disadvantages good. So not sure that there is pure evil or good. Each of us is both.

At some point, I suggest not just jumping in the background of some of the performances, and really learn to dance, because I have discovered some abilities. I thought, "Ballet! Great! A bunch of girls and at least boys c traditional sexual orientation! Perhaps you should look into that".
