Did You Know?
Personal Quote:
[2010, on winning the Oscar for
Upseeri ja herrasmies (1982)] It did create a lot of opportunities, but I thought there would be more. I thought it would be a windfall. But it wasn't. It was what it was. It only affected me for a little while, and then it stopped affecting me. I just come out the other end.
