Some directors can tell stories and it becomes very intimate and small, and it's almost like a secret. Some directors have the gift of finding a way to show it and tell the story, in a way that brings in the audience.

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

When I was a teenager, I was like, Something is wrong with me. I dont fit in. Im not like everybody else. So, I always knew that I wanted to explore and move on, but it was completely unexpected, the way it happened.

I want to explore more sides of humanity and myself. That's what acting is about.

I don't look at myself on the outside. Sometimes you feel like you're not really there and need one more [take], because I feel like something is coming out. I don't really know what but I need to get it out.

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.

I always push myself, even when I did a film where it was pretty much me the whole film.
