In 'A Royal Affair' I had to learn to act like a queen and learned Danish. It's so much different to act in another language. It's the nuances in the words.

I cut coupons, love specials and believe in buying toilet paper and toothpaste in bulk. It's just who I am.

There's no negatives. You just have to trust that what's happening in your life is unfolding in exactly the right way.

One thing I've learned: You never know where life is taking you, but it's taking you.

I think that we're all continually searching for who we are, and that's ever-evolving and changing.

You only have one life and if you're not doing what you love, what's the point?

I believe that the definition of luck is when preparation meets with opportunity.

You can change your fate. You can sit back, or you can go after your life and all that you want it to be.

My biggest growth has been sitting with things that are uncomfortable and dealing with them.

I love doing interviews that are about work that I do, films that I make. I am not very interested in the rest. I think I have always been quite reserved and a bit frightened of that whole thing.

I guess people might just get tired of my face.

I never really feel like I'm sure a film's gonna happen until I'm maybe halfway through.

I think I'm a big romantic, so being part of those stories, that’s such a big part of anyone’s life in general, that’s such a humane thing.

I was able to actually combine dance and acting, which was a dream come true.

I still love to see the ballet. And I love to boogie.

I love New York, and I would love to try to live here for a while if I ever got the chance, but it's also extremely hectic. I don't think I would cope with that.
