The filmmaker is really important to me: it could be their first film; it's not just about their reputation, but I have to really believe in them.
It's interesting to watch people go through it in something like this. I mean, what other then Melancholia films do they portray depression in?
I really want to do a film in another language. My dad's from Germany, so it'd be really cool to do a film in German. I'm not quite fluent, but I can get there. And my accent's pretty good. I wouldn't feel too out of my element.
I don't think that this movie is the kind of movie that a magazine like In Touch even cares about, if you know what I mean. It's a Lars von Trier film. They care about Moneyball, not Melancholia. They care about what I wear to Melancholia premieres; they don't really care about a Lars von Trier film.
On every film I do, whenever there are other girls my age, I think it's definitely up to me to set the pace. That's because I've had a lot of experience and I think there's always a certain amount of professionalism that should be maintained. If I was catty or whatever, it would just make the whole shoot unpleasant. And what's the point of that?
I mean look at Antichrist. He's not making films to be liked by everyone, so why is this so surprising coming from Lars von Trier?
I feel like I could never walk around a film half-naked. I definitely wouldn't want to see that.
To be in someone's favorite film is just - that's what you want. You want to be in great films that are memorable.
I've always used my own personal emotions and things that I've gone through in my life to build a character. The work that I do before a film feels almost like therapy, between me and whoever I'm playing.
So many teen films are overproduced and people are going to burnout on the subject.
I love to produce, and I've directed two short films.
I can't watch my movies and get into them because as soon as I see myself I get taken out of the film.
I really think the key to a film is the chemistry of people.
It'd be nice to feel that claustrophobic feeling or the anxiety that the film Melancholia produces, but for me I look at it and think about what I was doing that day, where we shot it... It's kind of like a weird memory. It's more a photo album of memories than being able to feel connected to myself. It's not easy to do.
I think for everyone it's good to have your own personal work on a character and a film before you even start rehearsing, to have an inner life.
Charlotte Rampling is someone I've wanted to work with for a very long time. I've always looked up to her as an actress and it's a reason why I feel brave to do a film like Melancholia. So, to me she's the ultimate.
