I'd much rather work with people that are tricky and difficult than people that just say yes to everything.

We need more extreme movies in Sweden.Personal projects that are necessarily made for a bigger audience. I think it creates a creative lock-up to have the audience as a goal.

With most movies I've done before, I've done a lot of preparation. I've known about them long before [shooting], and I've prepped and changed my body and done research, and all the things you could imagine.

If I don't see myself as a victim, then I'm not a victim.

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

Sometimes I have good ideas. I love that part of our job. It's a constant process of searching, of exploring stuff, and realizing things. You can be in the middle of the film and it's like, "Oh my God! I think we need to do this! Maybe in this scene she should shave her head!"

I think it's always the emotional situations that are more tricky to nail and get into because I don't want to pretend.
