- She is very open about her opinion, of the women appearing in James Bond movies - she thinks strongly that the women that James Bond sleeps with, are being shown to the world as sex objects, and it's a disgrace to women that they appear in those movies.
- Gave birth to a daughter in August 2018. Her name is Karoline.
- Mother, with boyfriend Kristian Ladegaard, of two daughters.
- Denmark as a country has always looked up to England. I've always felt that British actors are fantastic. There's a strong theatre tradition in your country, and that is reflected in TV and film as well. We've always thought that for crime series, you were the masters, and the general feeling the Danes have of British drama is that it's excellent.
- For me, art is like a big support group, where you go and meet people who think the same way, and you go, 'Okay, I'm not nuts.'
- When I approach any script, I always try to find what I would relate to most in it.
- I was a good student - a geek, really - editor of the school paper, thought I was going to go to university.
- Any director or writer or artist has the right to do what they want to do - freedom of expression is something I celebrate.
