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.

In terms of jobs, I'm an actor. There's gotta' be depth there. I'd never say yes to something just to play the hot guy. That's not what I'm interested in.

In movies we tend make things black and white: you're either this, or you're that.

I worked with Lady Gaga for a day on a video shoot. It was crazy; we had a lot of fun. I had a great time.

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

I needed to be myself and find my own identity.

I miss being in my home country; here, I'm always a foreigner. America is, of course, built of people who are not from here. But going home, even just landing at Arlanda, the Stockholm airport, I think, "This is where I'm from. These people are my people."
