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.

It took me realizing that a broken heart has never actually killed anyone to find the courage to ask for what I want, in just about every situation. That was part of my own growing up.

I'm a big action junkie. I grew up on the '80s action movies - the bad ones and the good ones.

It is good to be in front of the lens to appreciate more being behind the lens.
