00:00How was your holiday?
00:02It was good. I mean, I relaxed, actually.
00:05And I ate a lot, so I probably gained a lot of weight.
00:09What does relaxing look like for you?
00:11Well, I told you I ate.
00:15Eating like Swedish Christmas, that is a smorgasbord with a lot of ham and pickled herring and stuff.
00:21So it's something delicious, at least for sweets.
00:25And are you a New Year's resolution person?
00:28No.
00:30And it doesn't come through anyway, so it's pointless.
00:36Tell me, when you work on this movie, I mean, first of all, it has done so well.
00:40The critics have raved about it.
00:41It seems like a creatively successful project for everyone involved.
00:45How does it inform what you want to do next?
00:47Does it raise the bar in terms of what you're reading or what you say yes to next?
00:52I mean, usually, of course, the bar gets raised because you know how good it can be
00:58and how good a director can be, how good a script can be.
01:00But you don't get that all the time.
01:02And that has happened to me before.
01:04I mean, I've done films that have raised the bar, but I have to compromise and understand that this is work also.
01:11So not every film is magical, but you can make decent films.
01:17And tonight is sort of an ensemble award for everyone involved.
01:22Did you know when you were on set that there was something special happening?
01:26I knew it, yeah, yeah.
01:28And I felt, first of all, all the girls are, they're fantastic.
01:33And all the other characters are good, too.
01:37They're very, it's a very, he creates a very truthful atmosphere, atmosphere.
01:43And he makes everybody playing the same game.
01:46So it's very even in that sense.
01:52And those three girls, come on, I mean, you'll be happy to be in the same room as those, yeah.
02:01And it's nice to get an international award at this moment in time
02:03when the business seems to be moving even more international as productions leave Los Angeles.
02:08Do you see, like, the work that you're getting offered,
02:11are you seeing more movies shooting in Europe now?
02:14Well, I mean, I think it's sad in a way that for financial reasons,
02:20a lot of American movies are shooting in Europe.
02:22I think they shoot, and that they shoot so few in L.A.
02:26Because, I mean, we got to keep Los Angeles alive, too, Hollywood.
02:32But we got to make movies, and we got to make movies for the cinema.
02:36Because the cinema is, the cinema is the magic clue to,
02:41whether we got to stream it later or not, is the magic clue to how to make movies.
02:48I have to say, I loved your Actors on Actors.
02:51Keep it in the family.
02:53But it made me really want a family movie with you guys.
02:59I mean, did it for you?
03:02Yeah, well, of course.
03:03I mean, we have that family movie every week.
03:04So, but it's fun.
03:07I work with them separately now and then,
03:10and it's always fun because they are really funny people like kids.
03:15What would it take for you guys to get together on script?
