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.

'The Borgias' is quite good because it does stick quite steadfastly to historical fact, so a lot of people who are interested in the historical element will love watching it, but they were also a ridiculously dramatic family.

I cannot be much pleased without an appearance of truth; at least of possibility I wish the history to be natural though the sentiments are refined; and the characters to be probable, though their behaviour is excelling.

It's good to know that other people think differently, and that's what makes the characters interesting.

There are good characters and bad characters.

People who act against their own best interests are interesting characters.

Character is the ability of a person to see a positive end of things. This is the hope that a man of character has.

I am quite sure that a little man who braves ridicule to improve the lot of his fellow men, and is thanked by their jibes, is an interesting character.

The characters that aren't what they seem to be or women who are stronger than people give them credit for or characters you underestimate, I always think are really interesting because there are so many possibilities with them.

I am very observant of people's character.
