I was so irritated that people in Denmark considered me to be this serious guy who only did dramatic roles.

I love people who go out and say, 'If cinema is God, then I'm the pope.' As an actor working with these kinds of people, the older you get, the more you appreciate it.

Trump starts out by saying, 'We need to build walls; we need to do this.' He's very bombastic in what he's saying and his approach to the world.

I'm an actor. 99.9% of all actors in the world have been in denial towards the military.

I think if you just made a film that says, 'This is anti-war,' and you had to spend two hours explaining that... you don't like war? Wow, that's original. Know what I mean?

With 'A Hijacking' I didn't talk to anyone who had been hijacked, but with 'A War,' I talked to as many soldiers as possible trying to understand how is it in Afghanistan.

In 'A Hijacking,' the characters are low-status people.

Whenever you do a film, it's always like a little miracle. So many people getting together trying to do something so that the audience can be entertained.

I want to direct in Denmark. I married a writer; my best friend's a writer, so I always wanted to be a writer.

I did some theatre straight out of school, and it wasn't anything spectacular at all.

I did half a year of theatre.

I have the deepest, deepest respect for these guys who are actually fighting for democracy in countries far away.

I don't know - the whole leading man, I don't buy it.

In my mind, I still think - and wish - that I'm going to be a journalist or a writer. That's been my dream job my entire life.

It's always difficult when you're working with Mother Nature, because you need to adapt to that.

I love 'Sex and the City,' but it's also wonderful that there's something else other than 'Sex and the City.'

I watched 'Eurovision.' And I actually like the show. I like wind machines. I like the whole glimmer-glamour thing. That's 'Eurovision.' We love to hate it.

Honestly, I think it's kind of corny to sit and watch your own work.

The American president isn't just the American president. He's going to be the leader of the whole Western world, you know? You got a pretty big responsibility.

I think six seasons are telling us one thing about 'Game of Thrones': Everyone should watch their back. No one is safe. That's what I love about the show. I love that it's so unpredictable.

One of the things I've learned from 'Borgen' is that it's very easy to criticise people; 'I hate this politician, I hate what they do.' You are doing this right now with Margaret Thatcher, but sometimes it's hard to be a politician. I'm not defending Margaret Thatcher, but we believe our statesmen are also human beings.

I like to do my own stunts, but sometimes you need a little bit of help.
