Love your Twitter feed, especially the note at the top about how you've done so many films with black in the title: Black Book, Black Death, and now Black Butterflies.
I don't know, man. Black is a cliché in titles. I need something white, like a comedy. I have a love-hate relationship with Twitter. There are moments I feel like 99 percent of the people who write stuff are the sweetest people, and then one crazy guy or girl spoils the whole thing. I know I shouldn't be reading all of it, but when you're a celebrity in your own country, it's an easy way to show them you're made of the same stuff they are. I want them to know I'm one of them, that I'm not on some island, swimming in my money, you know what I mean? [Laughs.] It's a very Dutch thing to not want to be a diva.
You play Ingrid Jonker in the film, and her daughter Simone was an extra in it. What was that like?
If you blink, you'll miss her. She was the sweetest woman, and so intense. She basically wanted her mother to really come alive again, and she sort of went into it too far. There was a scene where I had to walk away from her, and she said, "Mommy, don't go!" It was sort of as a joke, but at the same time, it gave me the shivers. For the first time, I really understood how much she was aching for her mother, just like Ingrid had been aching for her father. Maybe I'm getting too psychological, but I feel like for Ingrid and her daughter, there is so much anger that cannot be expressed. For both of them, their mother died and they were left behind, and in Ingrid's case, she couldn't express her anger at being abandoned, so that anger went back into herself, and that's why she became so self-destructive. That's my theory, anyway! [Laughs.]
Liam Cunningham plays someone who loves you in this movie. In Game of Thrones, he plays someone who hates you. [Editor's note: He plays Ser Davos Seaworth.]
It's so funny to work with him again. And this time, I get to throw him in a prison. But I better not say too much about Game of Thrones, or Mr. HBO will kill me.
