Machiavelli had some cold tricks for people who wanted to be demagogues and wanted to take over the world.
I'm a beer man. I tried to drink whiskey and Scotch but I don't get it. It smells like a girl who didn't shower and just splashed a lot of perfume on.
I dont wear cologne. I do occasionally, but anytime I take a shower, I just put on deodorant. Thats basically what I smell like.
I have a three-piece suit. I’m an art collector. I have a funny accent. So I’m probably the killer.
I do read some of the scripts from America and, even though the themes or subject of the film is very interesting, and some of the scenes are very interesting, there is a tendency that they have to explain everything. There will be no dilemma. This guy was evil, and this girl was very sweet. And in the end, we'd have to see eight endings because we'd also have to know what happened to the uncle. It's like, "Are you kidding me?!"
If you believe in Odin and Thor, people laugh themselves to death. While it's okay to believe in a man who turned water into wine, and walked on water
If David Bowie wants, I'll put him in my phone book.
If I do my very best, then the camera and the audience will follow me, and eventually they will somehow feel like I feel. I don't have to show it to them. I don't have to speak it out loud.
I can be intense in a lot of ways, but not the way you see the guy in 'The Salvation.'
I did a crazy version of 'Romeo and Juliet' once, and I played Romeo.
Once in a while, when I'm out on the lawn, I'll jump around and do a couple of things. Here's a secret: The older you get, the more difficult it gets. The smallest little injury stays with you for so long. But that's how it goes, and it doesn't stop me. I'm always ready to do something that hurts a little!
I try not to carry any character back home because that would be extremely frustrating for my family.
It was never a plan to be an actor.
The day before I was famous in Denmark, nobody looked my way. The day after, everybody wanted to talk to me.
