I discovered the 7th art at home when I was kid, through Charlie Chaplin's movies and those of my father who shot documentaries. He was my biggest influence. So I took his camera and started shooting.

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

My key interest in choosing scripts is character-driven stories, because there are so many stories that sacrifice character for plot.

But I notice that there is a lack of darkness in my movies and I don't know where that comes from.

I love mixing amateurs and professionals.

I got to work with my wife, Lena Olin, for the first time, which was great. I thought it might be difficult in some way to talk to one's wife in a different way but it was so not forced.

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