I have a three-piece suit. I’m an art collector. I have a funny accent. So I’m probably the killer.

More quotes by Mads Mikkelsen
I'm terrified about psychic people who have their little shops.
Mads Mikkelsen
I ask a million questions, and I insist on having answers. I think that is what we have to do. I have to know what the director wants. Some are very much in their head, and I need to force it out of them. I just can't play around for eight hours and see if something happens.
Mads Mikkelsen
I was a gymnast for many years before I was a dancer, so it comes in pretty handy when I do stunts.
Mads Mikkelsen
I'm in a very lucky position. You have to remember that 95 percent of all actors aren't working. I'm actually able to go to France and work. It's a situation I couldn't have dreamt up.
Mads Mikkelsen
All actors have to believe that our characters have a point that makes sense. Hopefully, they make sense to the crowd watching it, but at least he has to make sense in his own mind, in his own universe.
Mads Mikkelsen
I like to stay home with my family.
Mads Mikkelsen
II know a little about Greek mythology. It's not that far away from the Nordic mythology.
Mads Mikkelsen
When you do a TV show, there's always the fear that it will become tired and you'll know exactly what's going to happen.
Mads Mikkelsen
I'm not the kind of actor who runs around and insists on being called Stravinsky by everybody, and my family has to call me Igor. I'm not that kind of actor. I think that's pretentious.
Mads Mikkelsen
Danish film is spreading in a fantastic way.
Mads Mikkelsen
I became a dancer late and an actor late.
Mads Mikkelsen
I'd rather be voted the sexiest man in Denmark than the ugliest man in Denmark.
Mads Mikkelsen
If you're playing the bad guy, you have to find what you like about them.
Mads Mikkelsen
Everyone who makes a Star Wars film wants to make it their own but they also have to be true to the concept.
Mads Mikkelsen
Sometimes we misunderstand what films can do. We just throw a whole book in there, with people just talking, talking, and talking. The picture can tell, the frame can tell.
Mads Mikkelsen
I take my work enormously seriously. When I do something, it has to feel right. Everything has to be right. I’m not ambitious about my career, but I am ambitious with each job. I can be fairly annoying to work with. No compromises, let’s put it this way. Compromises are from hell.
Mads Mikkelsen
I’m an Adidas guy who walks around in sports gear all the time because there’s always a ball right next to me somewhere. I do a lot of sports but I do enjoy wearing a lot of suits. I have quite a few suits that I really enjoy wearing but, unlike Hannibal, I like wearing them only at special occasions.
Mads Mikkelsen
I'm very dedicated to the things I do.
Mads Mikkelsen
I'd just love to see the next Star Wars films when they come out because I'm very into the whole universe and the stories. So they're always rewarding.
Mads Mikkelsen
I think 40 years ago, it would have been a little bit different because people had a tendency to think the actor was their part. I do find people who, all of a sudden, realize who is sitting in the restaurant and the first thing they react on is not necessarily, There's that actor, but it's, There's that killer guy.
