Norwegian kids, they grow up well educated in film. So they have a lot of good directors there.
We don't live. We're miming in the choir.
There is no overacting, only untrue acting.
I'm not lazy on set. I'm lazy in the rest of my life.
When you work with someone you don't quite know, you have to figure the director out and you can come up with ideas that are counter-productive.
I've done so many sex scenes in my life and it's much easier to do a funny sex scene than a sex scene that is supposed to look like it feels.
