When you want to make a film abroad, you need producers and people who support you. You need a team that speaks your language.

There's always gonna be people with a lot of money making film, and the goal is to make profit and carry on. It is a business. The goal is to make a living doing it and to be comfortable.

The film is not a success until it makes money. It's only good when there's a dollar figure attached to the box office.

When you do a film in a foreign language, you know there's a cost in it, that you know, unfortunately, the audiences of foreign language films have not been cultivated. There's a market, but the market has been reduced, unfortunately, and you know that when you're making a foreign language film, you're making a choice.

I guess, you make a big studio film, you spend a lot of money on it and you hope people go see it. It's really risky.

You can make films in a lot of countries, but they don't have very wide releases.

As long as you keep your budgets small, there's a way of making films.

I would love to produce a film. I have written a script and am in the process of writing another, so maybe it will happen down the road. I would love to do a film in Africa.

Above all, film is a business... Independence is a really cool thing as you can be a bit more bold, and take a few more chances with what you do.

I'm a filmmaker; I want to make films. I don't want to sit in a hotel room waiting to make films, and I can control my thing in Denmark; I can make the film I want to make... of course, I have to write a good script, all that, but if I do my job, it will happen.
