More quotes by 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.

If you're not bruised up, then you're not doing an action film in a real way.

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

I'm terrified about psychic people who have their little shops.

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.

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'm very dedicated to the things I do.

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.

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

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
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.

II know a little about Greek mythology. It's not that far away from the Nordic mythology.
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.
