• There’s something strange about theater. My characters consistently demonize elitism, but of course it’s taking place in a theater where only so many people can see it.

• I've been a fan of Mads since the “Casino Royale” movie. I really sat up and paid attention to him.

I should come back, just stay behind him. (Laughs) Our working relationship has been fantastic.
