What attracts you to the people you work with? For example, Lars, Beck or Melodie McDaniel for the Another film? It's hard to say why you're attracted to certain collaborators. Some of it is obvious. With Beck, I'd been a fan of his music for a long time. It was the same with Lars von Trier. I had loved his films. And I loved Melodie’s photography. I think you admire someone's work and part of you yearns to be a part of it. Then it's about meeting each other and discovering some part of their world that you fit into, that you can find a part of yourself in.
Did you have the same openness about which medium to pursue – acting, music? I made my choices very subconsciously at first. It’s strange. I don't really identify myself with labels like "artist" or "musician." What I do and the decisions I make – whether to make music or be in a film – are very instinctive and I only understand much later, in retrospect, my reasons for doing things. I try not to be to analytical and try to trust my instincts instead. To trust a bit in fate.
