Susanne Bier

I hate when the sun is high and there are no shadows. If I could do super high-budget movies, I would only shoot when the sun starts to get low - but you can't just shoot for four hours every day.

For me, grief is a static thing, and my movies have an extremely dynamic sort of movement.

I generally edit quite heavily. In general, there aren't many scenes that are sitting where they sat in the script in the final form.

If you're not having a good time, find something else that gives you some joy in life.

It is always fragile, being a parent.

You need a really solid foundation of friends and family to keep you where you need to be.
