I think that I'm very passionate, and I know that if I decide to do a film, my character is going to take over my life.

I can come up sometimes with ideas for scenes that I'm not in, to make it better or add something. It's not about me, or my ego, that I wanna show this or that.

When I don't understand things, I become passionate to understand.

I'm interested in people's darker side, the ones that aren't easy and well balanced. The cracks.

I always had this huge respect for American filmmakers and American actors. I always had this very strong love and respect for the American cinema. I always knew that I was going to leave Sweden.

I can't see any value in being a celebrity, famous for being famous.

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.
