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

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.

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.

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 humanity and human kind. I think that what's common for all of the things that I've done and all the things that I want to do is that they are all connected to some deeper things in our souls.

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