I studied screenwriting at film school and was constantly learning how to construct three-act dramas.

I'm a filmmaker; I want to make films. I don't want to sit in a hotel room waiting to make films, and I can control my thing in Denmark; I can make the film I want to make... of course, I have to write a good script, all that, but if I do my job, it will happen.

My dream is that my kids grow up into nice people; that's my dream.

My mother - she's a good old classic Northern European socialist - she's totally wonderful, but she raised me up believing that rich people have stolen their money from poor people.

I'm the only one in my family who doesn't cook, but I can do a Swiss dish called frittatensuppe. You make a thin omelet from eggs, flour and parsley, then roll and cut it in the shape of tagliatelle and add broth. It's a tradition we adopted.

It's not common for a woman on television, especially if she's the mom of the family, to be funny. She's usually a straight man or foil.

Just because we want our favorite team to win does not mean there's any lack of toughness when a player chooses family first.

I'm grateful for my family and my peers.
