Our film society back home is so different from here. Making a movie is universal. Directing a movie is universal; it's a universal language. It's just figuring things out and understanding the codes and how the system of Hollywood compares to that of Norway. We don't even have agents. There's no studio system, no managers.

You never have any idea where your movie's going to go when you're shooting - you're in this little bubble.

I love history, and I thought I knew history well, but I was shocked by how little I knew about it.
