We have the opportunity to change Denmark - that opportunity must be seized.

I feel like giving myself a pat on the back. We can create history tonight. We can bid goodbye to 10 years of (Liberal-Conservative) government which has ground to a halt, and get a new government and a new majority in Denmark.

Denmark needs change, Denmark needs to move on and Denmark needs my leadership.

We did it. Make no mistake: We have written history. Today there's a change of guards in Denmark.

Denmark is like a big family of people.

Denmark is like a secret little place with its own special language.

Denmark is a small place. We all know each other.

Denmark is a small nation of five million people, but our economy is completely dependent on our commercial fleet. Every family has some connection to it.

When we started making 'Borgen,' no one had any idea it would have any appeal outside Denmark. No one expected it to follow the success of 'The Killing' because it's basically all about Danish politics.

More than forty years of Communist rule in Central and Eastern Europe resulted in an unhappy and artificial division of Europe. It is this dark chapter of European history that we now have the opportunity to close.
