'Headhunters' was a breakthrough film for me, internationally, and I got offered a lot of scripts from Hollywood - a lot of heightened hero movies.

From Morten Tyldum

I came to Hollywood and felt myself an outsider, and I was sent all these action thrillers and superhero scripts.

From Morten Tyldum

You never have any idea where your movie's going to go when you're shooting - you're in this little bubble. Everything you care about is getting the next step right: getting the script right, finding the right actors, shooting it. Then you spend half a year in a dark room editing your film, and you don't talk to anybody.

From Morten Tyldum

I love history, and I thought I knew history well, but I was shocked by how little I knew about it.

From Morten Tyldum

I always felt Harrison Ford looked like he's about to shoot himself when he's carrying his own gun. He always looked afraid; he's not just this tough guy, you know?

From Morten Tyldum

Turing was uncompromisingly honest. As soon as he didn't think you were interesting or smart, he'd just turn around and walk away, even if you were in the middle of a sentence.

From Morten Tyldum

This is a man who was 23 years old when he theorized the idea of creating a programmable machine, and in that way, Turing foresaw computers and artificial intelligence. These were revolutionary ideas at that time.

From Morten Tyldum

You do not move forward by following convention. You celebrate those who are different, who are not burdened by 'normality.'
