I've done so much travelling in the past few years, and when you travel, you realise that we do actually have a cool, clean look in Scandinavia - it's not just Denmark - which I think brings peace if you have it in your home. Birgitte Hjort Sorensen bringcleancool share on social
At some point, they must do a 'Borgen' tour in Copenhagen. Like the 'Sex and the City' tour, but on bicycles. Birgitte Hjort Sorensen bicycleborgencity Change image and share on social
Right before I graduated from the national theatre school, I got the part of Roxie Hart in 'Chicago' in Copenhagen. That led to me playing it here in London. I was 26 when I came over for that. It was the first thing I did as a professional, and it is still the experience of my life. Birgitte Hjort Sorensen chicagocopenhagenexperience share on social
I'd love to play a villain in BBC drama 'Sherlock' - some sort of evil, slinky blonde would be right up my street. Birgitte Hjort Sorensen bbcblondedrama Change image and share on social

I've been told that no one knows what happens in the future on 'Game of Thrones.' To my knowledge, I've shot one episode. So I'm as excited as anyone else to find out what happens. Birgitte Hjort Sorensen episodeexcitefind Change image and share on social
I think one of the reasons 'Borgen' has such a following is because the characters are quite positive people. Birgitte Hjort Sorensen borgencharacterpeople Change image and share on social
If I can iron out my accent, it opens up another world of possible jobs. Whereas if you have that very strong European accent, it leaves you always being cast as the Hungarian maid or the stripper or whatever. I have voice lessons, and my coach has given me different tongue-twisters to rehearse at home. Birgitte Hjort Sorensen accentcastcoach share on social
On Christmas Eve, we have a duck or roast pork with caramelised potatoes, braised red cabbage and gravy. For dessert, we have ris a l'amande, a rice pudding, and whoever gets the whole almond in it wins an extra present. Then we dance around the tree and sing carols.

I have a problem with fashion magazines sometimes - they seem to have these dogmas or uniforms. 'This is the way you must look; this is this season's must-have.' I really resent the phrase 'must-have.' I prefer to decide for myself what I think is beautiful or fashionable. Birgitte Hjort Sorensen beautifuldecidedogma share on social
