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.

In Sweden everybody has this perfect surface. Everyones very polite and controls their feelings.

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

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

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

I grew up watching American movies. My favorite movies have always been American, since as long as I can remember. I always had this huge respect for American filmmakers and American actors.
