Oscar winning director of #SentimentalValue, Joachim Trier: "I say this often because I think of young directors who might be listening or reading: it’s natural to feel that you’re fucking it up along the way. It happens every time, every time I see the first cut of the film that we put together, I’m devastated! Every time I call my wife or my friends or my mother or whoever and I say, “I messed it up this time,” and then at the end of it, I feel okay. I resolved what I can do with this. That’s the way it is. So I’m never fully getting used to it."⁠

Actor Vicky Krieps: "At some point, I was overwhelmed by everything being bigger, and louder, and more intense. I had just had two little children, and that was already crazy enough. I starred in Phantom Thread, and the movie was in the so-called Oscar campaign… And I got scared so I backed away. I thought maybe stepping back was the wrong thing, maybe I just ruined my whole career, but my intuition tells me that I have to take step back from this thing I didn’t feel I would be able to control. And I think the distance from Hollywood really helped me to not only raise my kids in a safe and healthy environment, but it also helped me maintain my own integrity."⁠
