England and Denmark have a sense of irony and a darker sense of humour that you don't necessarily find in Germany and Sweden.

I'd rather be voted 'the sexiest man in Denmark' than 'the ugliest man in Denmark'.

I don't necessarily prefer playing villains. I know a lot of people say they are more fun, but if the scriptwriter has done their work well, you can find something realistic in a villain and find the mistakes in a hero - it's all down to the writing.

If you're playing the bad guy, you have to find what you like about them.

We were in love with 'Mean Streets' and 'Taxi Driver.' We had no idea why nothing remotely like that was done in Denmark.

I've always been extremely physical. I was a gymnast for 15 years, and then I was a dancer for nine, so I was kind of looking for these parts. But we have a tendency in Denmark not to do many action films.
