I’m not the greatest husband – I’ve got a girlfriend. It doesn’t really please my wife, but then if I was looking to please her I wouldn’t have a girlfriend. I mean she knows about it, and I guess she’s okay with it. Plus my kids like both of them.

I’ve never actually considered myself a comedian, even though I started off in stand-up and then got the part in The Office, which was obviously a comic role. So I would say it’s not a conscious decision to move away from comedy, but just to try different things. And if, in a few years’ time, it turns out that people don’t accept me in those roles, then I’d be quite happy to go back to being the skinny weirdo in each script.

An actor is like a piece of clay: you just keep moulding me. Even people who work with you every day want to put you in a little box.

I didn’t have a pool growing up, and we went to the beach to lay out and get sun.

Happy Birthday: Nicolas Winding Refn

Born: September 29, 1970 in Copenhagen, Denmark

The auteur theory is such a strange theory, because you’re dealing with human beings. You only make good stuff if your collaborators are a part of your process and a part of your ideas, and there’s no point in fighting them or them fighting you. Even Ingmar Bergman had a lot of discussions with his actors about pros and cons. An auteur doesn’t have to write every single word, because the writer’s there to help the director do what the director wants to do, and that was certainly my case.

The bad boy: always more fun. It’s funny. When you’re in your early 20s, you go ahead and do everything. And it’s very hard to judge yourself. It’s like when you’re in drama school, and you’re playing a 60-year-old in Russian plays, and you get criticized, and you say, ‘What the hell, I’m an 18-year-old trying to be a 60-year-old Russian?’ But the bad boy, I had a knack for it from the start.

[1983 interview] Because directing is very political and social, it takes up more of your time than writing does. It’s more demanding because you have to make the movie when the money is there. A book can just sit there; it doesn’t depend on anyone else. That’s what’s nice about it. You don’t have to rely on anyone else – you either do it or you don’t. Fiction writing is a break from movie-making for me.

I always get billed as ‘Dita, internationally known fetish supermodel’.

I’m really a small town girl from Michigan who has a good laugh that being a fancy-pants stripper got me here!

Some people say what I do isn’t very liberating. I say it’s pretty liberating to get $20,000 for 10 minutes work.
