When I was starring as Roxie Hart in 'Chicago,' I got my stiletto heel caught in my fishnet tights and fell flat on my face. It was incredibly painful and not something you can cover up.

Acting and singing were just a hobby, but getting into drama school made me realise I could actually do it for a living.

In many senses, 'Borgen' was a very democratic show. I was always invited to hear the writers' thoughts for the next episodes and allowed to comment on them.

High heels were invented by a woman who had been kissed on the forehead.

I don't see any possibility of Britain and the U.S. allowing a sovereign independent Iraq; that's almost inconceivable.

I was thinking of going to London drama schools or to New York, because France didn't accommodate the things I wanted to do in film.
