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

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

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.
