“This is the best date movie on earth. This is a great date movie. My favorite part of this movie is when [bleeped] and then the guy, he goes into a room and he finds this plate of [bleeped]. Another great date movie, Antichrist. So good. This movie puts me and my wife in the mood.”

“Antichrist is not it's just for Lars he's a real artist. I always feel embarrassed when you say that directors are artists with a big A because it always seems very pretentious but he really is he puts so much of himself in of his craziness in his films and I was lucky enough to do three even four if Nymphomaniac was two films. Melancholia was one of the film I'm most proud of but I chose this one.”

“Antichrist, I will probably not like it but I like von Trier and it's simply part of a duty.”

“I think this is an absolutely brilliant film but I cannot watch it because I've got two little children and I found the scene at the beginning with the boy falling and it would seem to be shot like Bill Viola or something really super slow motion and it's got a Handel aria or something which is so utterly moving. It's so I found it so manipulative and so I almost couldn't cope with it at all.”
