More quotes by 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
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
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
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 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.

II know a little about Greek mythology. It's not that far away from the Nordic mythology.
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.
Mads Mikkelsen
I'd rather be voted the sexiest man in Denmark than the ugliest man in Denmark.
Mads Mikkelsen
I dont wear cologne. I do occasionally, but anytime I take a shower, I just put on deodorant. Thats basically what I smell like.
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 was a very focused kid. I always had this crazy lifestyle... billions of jobs, two hours of gymnastics every day, handball, anything with a ball, really. I must have had ADHD or something. I was very energetic, and very small. I didn't start growing until the last year of high school.
Mads Mikkelsen
I'm a big fan of film for one reason: because it is visual.
Mads Mikkelsen
Everybody wants a big crowd. You get amazed sometimes with certain things that millions of people are watching and you go, Serious?! Really?! And then, there are things that you really, really enjoy and not a lot of people are watching. It's very, very hard to predict how it works.
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
The physicality of any character is always split up into fast, slow, high energy, low energy, what kind of personality he has. So that's where the physicality comes in. And flying through the air is just something you have to do if they ask you.
Mads Mikkelsen
I have a three-piece suit. I’m an art collector. I have a funny accent. So I’m probably the killer.
Mads Mikkelsen
I choose work with the people I like to work with.
Mads Mikkelsen
I'm terrified about psychic people who have their little shops.
Mads Mikkelsen
I became a dancer late and an actor late.
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.
