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

It's not about being proud of Sweden; it's just a sense of belonging. Even if you've lived in a place for a long time, those first formative years are going to be a part of you forever, and it's something you can't replace.

I don't think I would ever be a doctor, but the reason I majored in science was because you could become a civil engineer, you could become a biologist, you could become a computer scientist - that was the point of it. I had no idea what I wanted to do. In my last two years of high school here happened to be these few scripts that I really responded to. Eventually, I landed the job, and that was something that I felt transcended whatever other people would think of me.

To me, it's all about inspiration. What gets me creatively excited is a challenge.

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

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.

I needed to be myself and find my own identity.
