ANITA BRIEM
MEMORABLE QUOTES

  • Jane Seymour is no dumbbell. She happens to be an eighteen year old who is plucked from her father's arms into a whirlwind romance with the King of England. That is no small deal. I enjoyed it immensely.

  • From an early age I developed a very strange interest in combat. I studied hand to hand combat and trained with all different kinds of swords and weaponry. I have a small frame but your strength never really comes from your muscles, it comes from your core.

  • I try to show everybody Iceland all the time. My people are like "don't tell everyone the secret. Its so beautiful and peaceful here!" Its incredible; I go home and drive across the country, and go to my mom's place and it's dark with the Northern Lights, and I like to sit in some hot springs.

  • I love the theatre; the theatre sort of raised me. So I'm quite sure I will go back to the theatre. Right now I'm sort of captured in the all-consuming, fanatastical world of movies.

  • "When Jane Seymour appeared, Henry VIII is looking for someone real, sincere with a solid foundation."



FUN FACTS
  • Enjoys traveling, encountering different cultures, reading, going to the theatre and spending time with her family.

  • [Untitled]
    • Has a fascination with combat and weapons

    What, exactly, is the reason Ms Briem did not return as Jane Seymour for the rest of the Tudors? I've wondered why she didn't return to play lady seymour. not that i'm complaining, i haven't got anything against either of them. (i should probably be more supportive of Ms Briem, being that she's Scandinavian and i'm all into Scandinavian culture)
