For me, artists and people that are passionate are fighting for what they believe in and what they want, and that's always appealing. I find that really interesting.

Sometimes you just want to go out and tell everybody everything because you're just so full of happiness. It's almost like you're high on it and you just want to tell everybody about your experience, but you're not allowed to say anything.

I'm obsessed with the human psyche. I want to understand. I want to ask myself if I have it inside me.

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

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.

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.

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