Quotes

- Mads Mikkelsen (On his Casino Royale character, LeChiffre): Every good character, if it's good or bad, they have to have that dualism inside of them. If you play the baddie, you have to find something likeable about them, and that goes with the good guy as well, find something unlikable and that's what we tried to do with this one as well.

- Mads Mikkelsen (On the audition process for Casino Royale): I couldn't make it for the first couple of auditions, because I was working on a revenge film in Prague, so I just thought that I might be number 2,000 on the list, but they kept calling me back three times. Eventually, I made it. I was dressed up and I was about to do a scene with Daniel [Craig], but at that time, they've all seen my work and they were quite busy, so I got the job without doing the casting, which was kind of an anti-climax, but still, I enjoyed that.

- Mads Mikkelsen (On the Danish film industry): We make about 25 films a year. For a small country of 5 million people, it's good. They all have been released in theatres, strong governmental support. I think it enables us to make a lot of different films every year, and I think that's what makes a strong industry. We have like 35-40% of people watching films are Danish films and the rest will be American and English.
