More quotes by Mads Mikkelsen
I'd rather be voted the sexiest man in Denmark than the ugliest man in Denmark.
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
Yeah, I do all the stuff I can. Let’s be frank, if you are in an action film, you are not in it for the characters, you are in it for the action – the stunts. If they take that away from you, it’s a sad story. Ha ha! I have damaged everything: knees, elbows, ribs. But I’m an old gymnast. I know how to survive.
Mads Mikkelsen
I like to stay home with my family.
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
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.

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'm very dedicated to the things I do.

Actors are very good at not revealing anything, so they're safe.

One thing I can say about the French language is that no one in the world loves their language as much as they do.
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 became a dancer late and an actor late.
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'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
II know a little about Greek mythology. It's not that far away from the Nordic mythology.
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
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 have a three-piece suit. I’m an art collector. I have a funny accent. So I’m probably the killer.
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
Danish film is spreading in a fantastic way.
