concern good happen honestly outcome work
As a filmmaker, I always try not to concern myself with the outcome of things. I make the movie, and I do that as honestly and good as I can. I don't want to pollute my thoughts with what is going to happen with it afterwards, because I have to work inside-out.
sort understanding
I don't feel I have an issue with listening or understanding English in any sort of way.
great shape teacher
Parents can shape a child, but a great teacher can, too.
beauty
Having done a Dogme film taught me the beauty of simplicity and austerity.
family
In a way, our family is our modern identity.
came life travelling whenever
For years, whenever I'd been travelling and came back to Copenhagen, I'd think: 'People are so stylish.' And it's not any one class. It's everyday life.
bullying people possibly seems talked talking time whether
I don't know that there's more bullying or whether it's just more talked about. It seems to me that possibly that there's been a lot of bullying all the time, but at the moment, it's something that people are talking about.
blueprint script sequence
In a way, the whole notion of a blueprint of a building is not that different from a script for a movie. A sequence of spaces, which is what you do as an architect, is really the same as a sequence of scenes.
felt home
If I go home from a day of shooting, and I haven't at some point felt the magic, I'm really frustrated.
close family immediate politics totally views
I am very close to my family, and there's something life-affirming about that. Even if you feel completely different from them and have totally different views on politics and ethics, you're still family and have that immediate acceptance.
danish people
A lot of people who live in Denmark will understand Danish but not necessarily speak it.
ill issues keen number society telling women
A significant number of women who have been ill or had marital issues feel they have no value, and society is so keen on telling us that's the case.
certain freeing leading life
Dogme is like leading a religious life, in that you are freeing yourself from making certain choices. It makes life easier.
dynamic extremely movies sort static
For me, grief is a static thing, and my movies have an extremely dynamic sort of movement.
