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

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

Acting was always there, it's true. But for a long time, in my teenage years, I wasn't sure about it - not because I didn't like it, but I didn't want people to think I hadn't earned it.

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.

Sweden is a small country and, well, our family's pretty prominent in that world, I guess. And I really didn't like the sound of just being 'the fourth acting Skarsgard.

I started acting when I was 9. I did smaller parts here and there as a kid, and then as I grew older I started resisting it, because I didn't like the idea of being, at the time, number four of the Skarsgård actors. So in high school I majored in science and was like, "Maybe I'll do something rebellious and become a doctor."

I'm constantly embarrassed at the level of attention actors get and the level of money that we get. It's completely disproportionate.
