When I make a movie, I don't break it down and analyze it. I could but it would get in the way of doing a job - on instinct based on all the research we did going in. you want to trust yourself and your director and your acting partners in the circumstances you're shooting. I don't like to have any kind of overview.
That is to say, Hillary Clinton is not, in my mind, a satisfying or calming alternative to Donald Trump.
Walking down the street in any town or city in the world and having people look at you and start talking to you, convinced that they know you as well or better than they do members of their own family, that's just an odd phenomenon. But I mean, I wouldn't say it was a bad thing. It's an interesting thing.
I think, on a surface level, people are surprised to see me playing such a passive role in 'Good.'
The best thing an actor can be is flexible, because all directors are different and all actors are different.
I trust Hillary Clinton about as far as I could throw Donald Trump.
I love rehearsing, but a lot of directors don't, and some actors don't.
I like naturally occurring film grain, and what happens to film when it's under- and over-exposed.
I like movies that leave you with something to think about, to discuss, to debate, you know?
As regards Hillary C;inton's foreign policy actions and the powerful vested interests she seems gleefully beholden to, including all the biggest players in the military-industrial complex, I feel that she would be no better an actor on the world stage than Trump and whatever coalition of managers he might cobble together.
I'm an optimist; I always hope that each new script is going to be a great story.
I'm not a great fan of monarchy in general, but I have to say the Danish monarchy is closer to the people; it's not as stuffy as the English one.
Nobody really knows anybody completely, even if they've been married to 'em for 53 years, you know?
If you're not optimistic on some level, then you've given up.
