I have not seen Batman v Superman, unfortunately. It hasn't been on the plane, as I've been flying a lot.

I sometimes play different kinds of music to see where the performers end up. I play one genre. Then something else when I do it again. It really helps.

I think that Danish people may be thought off as the happiest people, but honestly...I love America.

Love comes from the strangest places.

I don't know if power seduces less or more. I think power is a constant evolving mechanism that, since the dawn of time, on one level corrupts and on another level does not. But I think, no matter what, mutates.

[Liv Corfixen] very much part of my life in that she's everything in my life and we found a way to use each other much more on a creative level as well. She was kind of the idea for this movie so I wanted to acknowledge that. She gave me the original idea to make the film.

The first person I ever described the film [The Neon Demon] to was Christina Hendricks [who has a cameo in the movie]. We were having dinner in LA and she asked me what I wanted to do next and I said, I want to do a horror movie. And she goes, What's it going to be about? And I said, A lot of blood and high heels.

I've never really been on a date, because I've been with the same girl since my early twenties, but on our first date, I showed her The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. I was like, Hey, you've got to see this! And we've been together ever since.

I am not a fan of improvisation, because it bores me. Working off a tight scenario gives you the confidence and ability to - why don't we change this a little bit and bring it back to the script. You always discover things while shooting.

I never desired to really go to Hollywood and make films, and purely because I want my entire control, which I'm used to having.

I think that television has become really, really interesting, in terms of character development. You can have 13 hours to develop a character, as opposed to 25 minutes in a movie. That excites me.

I think that experiencing through art is a wonderful way to expand the horizon and everything around it.

When we met, my agenda was Get Elle Fanning. I believe Elle's was Get the role. But we didn't know that.

I can't make a film that I don't feel comfortable with.
