“But I’d sold the show on the basis of this was Ragnar Lothbrok and his sons.”
“I couldn’t do it.
There weren’t that many laughs, but he gave us most of them.
And I just couldn’t do it.
I just couldn’t sacrifice him.”
“Whether they live or die is of course in the hands of the gods.

I tried to do justice to all my characters and I hope I succeeded.”
