More quotes by 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'm very dedicated to the things I do.
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 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 one of the actors who really enjoys working with kids and animals, which is always a no go. There's something beautiful about it because you tend to forget yourself, as an actor.
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'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
I'm a big fan of film for one reason: because it is visual.
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.

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
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
Actors are very good at not revealing anything, so they're safe.
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
If you're not bruised up, then you're not doing an action film in a real way.
Mads Mikkelsen
Danish film is spreading in a fantastic way.
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
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
II know a little about Greek mythology. It's not that far away from the Nordic mythology.
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.
