In Sweden everybody has this perfect surface. Everyones very polite and controls their feelings.

I've always been very stubborn, had a very clear will of what I want to do.

It's better to not be afraid of things and not avoid things.

Weirdly enough, I don't like to pretend. I try to use things in me, and translate them into the situation and the characters, so it always needs to run through my own veins.

My husband, when I was filming the Millennium movies, he asked me, `How far are you going and when are you coming back?'

I don't have this crazy dream about going to Hollywood, because I really love to watch movies and do movies that are complicated, and I want more strange things and complicated things.

I think Stieg Larsson was pretty brave. He wanted to bring up things that we don't like to talk about, or like to ignore.
