Stellan Skarsgard Lars von Trier is a very good storyteller. He’s like an H. C. Andersen for adults. – Stellan Skarsgard
Stellan Skarsgard When Lars Von Trier calls me, I say yes without reading the script because often the script hasn’t been written yet, and if Fincher called me again, I’d say yes without reading the script, too. – Stellan Skarsgard
Stellan Skarsgard I’ve worked with Lars von Trier on many films, and there’s always a female character that’s like an open wound – everything just pours out of this person. – Stellan Skarsgard

Nick Bosa Guys are so athletic and so good with their hands that if you don’t have power… Like, you could get away with just being a power rusher and being productive in the NFL.
