My feeling about all films and all television is that it's an adventure. That's the way I have to look at it. Because you don't know what the climate of the circumstance is going to be.

That's what it's all about. — Lance Henriksen

Desire is something very egoistic. If you desire something, you also have to take the consequences of that. You have to study the market and see how it can go. I mean to become an artist...

And that should be taken into consideration. — Odd Nerdrum
