Divorce is always terrible, but I haven't met anyone who went through it and isn't happier now.

I can't imagine life without my wife, but I don't think you should get a prize for staying together a long time.

Fart jokes still work for me.

Tina Fey's autobiography is very, very funny and very well written. It's her life story: it's about how she grows up in New York. There's no obvious reason why I should enjoy this - I mean, this is the autobiography of a woman in her early 40s in New York. I'm a guy from a small town in Denmark.

You have to be sharp when the camera's rolling. I want to be totally unselfconscious, like a child playing. I do as much prep as possible so I can lose myself for those seconds.

I did a network show in the U.S. before, and I loved it, but you have eight days to shoot an episode, and it's just a ridiculous pace.

I think what's great is that, when HBO commit, they go in all guns blazing. They attract the very best set designers, the whole thing.

It's beautiful being out in the wild.

All actors tend to be the same messed-up people.

Most female actresses will have a very difficult time being made unattractive.

One thing George R. R. Martin does is surprising things to main characters. But he says so himself.

You always dream of being part of a show that reaches and thrills an audience.

The more secrets and twists in a character, the better.

The only thing I find difficult to watch - horror movies - not that I don't like them. Like 'The Shining,' it's one of my favorite movies, but it's terrifying. I feel like I've watched a marathon afterwards.

I love political dramas. I love good story-telling.

I try not to regret too much. I find that feeling guilty takes up so much of my time already.

What I love about acting is that you are exposed to so many different things. Horse-riding, sailing, travelling to amazing places.

I was 15 or 16 when I first saw 'Once Upon A Time In America,' so I was quite young, but I was completely blown away.

As an actor, secrets and obstacles fuel the character.

I'm a fan of great storytelling.
