I wasn't like a Hollywood child actor - "I'm five! I can sing, I can dance, I can act! I wanna be a star!"

Swedes are such a civilised, perfect society - at least on the surface. There's a great safety net, a huge middle class, free education, free health care. People are very polite, they wait their turn. They're not too loud, they're not too quiet, but sometimes it's a little too perfect.

Whether I'm interested [in something] or not, step one is read the script and figure out if a character is someone I'd want to explore or not.

I can't express how much admiration I have for women in general, who walk around in high heels, but, drag queens, oh my god.

I like to dress up and put on a nice suit for a party or a special event; I do enjoy it, but on a daily basis I wear stuff that I feel comfortable in.

I was nervous when I first started True Blood because if you do a play or a movie, you know the complete arc of the character. You can see the end. But with a show like True Blood, you don't know what's going to happen.

Why do I love being naked? Because I was born that way?
