A Quote by 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.

If you asked an 18-year-old what they want to do with their life, and the options are 'Transformers' or Lars von Trier, he's probably shipping out for 'Transformers.' If you ask a 26-year-old what he wants to do, 'Transformers' or Lars von Trier, he'd probably pick Lars von Trier. So, my sensibilities are changing as I change.

Shia LaBeouf

I don't think that this movie is the kind of movie that a magazine like In Touch even cares about, if you know what I mean. It's a Lars von Trier film. They care about Moneyball, not Melancholia. They care about what I wear to Melancholia premieres; they don't really care about a Lars von Trier film.

Kirsten Dunst

I love working with Lars [von Trier]! I've worked with him three times. I did the narration of Dogville and Manderlay.

John Hurt

I mean look at Antichrist. He's not making films to be liked by everyone, so why is this so surprising coming from Lars von Trier?

Kirsten Dunst

The vampire or the bad guy, that's what people do remember. Lars von Trier, like Guy Maddin, their films are made for a group of exclusive people who like special films. And they are special films, they are art films. And I started with commercial films at the beginning, and later on, because you know, when you are an actor, you have the same cliché like everybody else, you want to be in big films, you want to be known and all that.

Udo Kier

The Danish filmmakers are a unique breed of filmmakers, with the Dogme films and Lars von Trier.

Pierce Brosnan

Lars von Trier is a very good storyteller. He's like an H. C. Andersen for adults.

Stellan Skarsgard

I'm besotted by [Kirsten Dunst] now. I think she's just wonderful. I can't think for a second that however much she'd worked in America, she would never have had the chance to play [a role in Lars Von Trier's 'Melancholia' ] like that. You have to get outside of the States to do something like that.

John Hurt

I adored 'Breaking The Waves,' so when Lars von Trier wanted me in 'Dogville,' I was beside myself with joy. He works in a way that nobody I've ever worked with works.

Lauren Bacall

I think you either get along with Lars [von Trier] or you really don't and I really got along with him. I wasn't scared because I talked to Bryce Dallas Howard about Lars.

Kirsten Dunst

I would amputate my toes to work with Lars von Trier again.

Bryce Dallas Howard

I loved working with [ Lars Von Trier], but I've done two films before, so I was quite used to him.He's a man of incredible moods of course, but he's also a hugely perceptive man, and there's no getting away from that. And he's able to put that perception into something like film, so we're very lucky.

John Hurt

Lars Von Trier is a genius. Every film he makes is so honest and powerful.

Toni Collette

Lars von Trier is not not somebody who is known for conducting a normal press conference ever!

Kirsten Dunst

The first day of shooting came, and of course I was nervous. I would lie if I said I wasn't impressed. I mean, Lars von Trier hiring me to be the king in 'Medea'... Lars said, 'Stop! Stop!' And I was so nervous, I turned around and said, 'What is it?' He said, '... Just be a tired king.'

Udo Kier

If people remember me for any scene in a Lars von Trier film, I'm extremely honoured and forever grateful.
