Many of the comedies I had made in Sweden were slightly based on semi-autobiographical experiences, so adapting novels was a very different experience.

ABBA: The Movie; I got a lot of grief for working on that.

But now I wish I could back to Stockholm to make international films there.

To see my wife getting inspired from my notes and thoughts, going in the direction I wanted, and have her surprise me with wonderful choices was a real treat.

Cinema has become a global economy, totally international.

I am always more interested in performance and character depiction, and my direction says as much.

I feel the need to work with my wife, Lena Olin, again.
