I've lived in California for six years and I've never surfed.

I'm always looking for something that's real and that's got meat on it. I think it's artistic suicide if you're too vain, or if you're afraid to play ugly. I would never fall for that.

I can deal with it now, but 13 is a tough age to be recognized and famous. It's a tough age, period.

I see myself as most people see themselves, you have good days and bad days. I don't think I'm better looking now than I did three years ago.

I come from a family of pacifists, so it's not like I was going to join the war. Sweden is not like the States or England where you might get sent to Afghanistan next month.

There's something I love about how stark the contrast is between January and June in Sweden.

I needed to be myself and find my own identity.
