Sometimes it seems that we are successful only because we have not tried hard enough for our best. We do the hard thing, and one day we succeed, and many things are made plain to us.

I had very little confidence in myself as an actress.

When I was about 15... I made my first attempt as a leading lady, and was, of course, a complete failure.

In Sweden, only exceptional actresses get major film parts.

Modeling is a great beginning, but it's also a kind of trap if you have any ambition or a mind that needs to be stimulated.

I thought I was an odd person, and since my hometown had only about 70,000 people in it, I knew I was going to have to leave there and go out and find other odd people.
