“I think that this movie Breaking the Waves, I don't think he's made a movie like that with as much compassion and heart and forgiveness for his characters but still has that strangling anxiety in it that he's so awesome at. I really love the God stuff in it that's so Catholic. When she prays to me, that's what it feels like to pray, you know.”
