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

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

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

I really want to have actors contribute their own ideas, with phrasings and ideas on all levels.

I imagined that it might be awkward to talk to your wife about her performance, so going into it I was a little nervous. But doing it was actually a wonderfully inspiring experience.

I love involving actors at all levels - and they have to know that I want to hear their contributions, with dialogue, with story suggestions, with script changes, whatever.

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.
