More quotes by Mads Mikkelsen
I choose work with the people I like to work with.
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
Actors are very good at not revealing anything, so they're safe.
Mads Mikkelsen
If you're playing the bad guy, you have to find what you like about them.

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.

I was a gymnast for many years before I was a dancer, so it comes in pretty handy when I do stunts.

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'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
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
II know a little about Greek mythology. It's not that far away from the Nordic mythology.
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'm terrified about psychic people who have their little shops.
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.
Mads Mikkelsen
I'm very dedicated to the things I do.
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 like to stay home with my family.
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
Everyone who makes a Star Wars film wants to make it their own but they also have to be true to the concept.
