I like doing fight scenes. I always have, and I insist on doing as much of that action as they'll let me do. I think that's easy for me.

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

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

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.
