The most exciting thing about joining 'Game Of Thrones' is joining 'Game Of Thrones.'
— Pilou Asbaek
When you watch the films that I'm inspired by - from the '60s and '70s - it's not about the special effects: it's about the story; it's about characters and relationships.
I used to read reviews - I read a lot of the reviews when I did 'Borgen,' but the thing is, people were so harsh that I talked to my wife about it, and I said this is too tough - the people are too personal and too idiotic to understand it, in my mind.
I think if you just made a film that says, 'This is anti-war,' and you had to spend two hours explaining that... you don't like war? Wow, that's original. Know what I mean?
If it was up to me, we would eliminate close-ups and beautiful light and sound - because we want to go back to basics.
I'm an actor. 99.9% of all actors in the world have been in denial towards the military.
