amazingly edit tv work
In film or TV work, you can have this amazingly dramatic pause, and they'll just edit it out.
I've tried to pitch 'Borgen - the Musical,' but they just won't listen to me!
bbc blonde love sort villain
I'd love to play a villain in BBC drama 'Sherlock' - some sort of evil, slinky blonde would be right up my street.

I was a good student - a geek, really - editor of the school paper, thought I was going to go to university.
characters following positive
I think one of the reasons 'Borgen' has such a following is because the characters are quite positive people.

I ride my bike past the Danish Parliament, and it's very accessible - there's really no security!

I adore Copenhagen, where I live, but I'm really drawn to New York.
art meet people support
For me, art is like a big support group, where you go and meet people who think the same way, and you go, 'Okay, I'm not nuts.'

At some point, they must do a 'Borgen' tour in Copenhagen. Like the 'Sex and the City' tour, but on bicycles.

Any director or writer or artist has the right to do what they want to do - freedom of expression is something I celebrate.

After 'Pitch Perfect' premiered, I've got so many sweet expressions from people who enjoyed 'Pitch Perfect' and now the episode of 'Game of Thrones.'

Acting and singing were just a hobby, but getting into drama school made me realise I could actually do it for a living.

Don't worry about not fitting in. The things that make people think you're weird are what makes you you, and therefore your greatest strength.
