We don't live. We're miming in the choir.

I treat everyone as equals. I can't work if I'm not having fun, and I can't have fun if not everyone is happy.

One of the beauties of 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo' is the very delicate and strange relationship between the two main characters.

When you work with someone you don't quite know, you have to figure the director out and you can come up with ideas that are counter-productive.

Norway is a small country, about half the size of Sweden, but it has a very good film climate because they have municipal cinemas, so even in the smallest towns you have a cinema that shows art house films from all over the world.

I'm not always happy when Hollywood does remakes of films, but that's usually, when they have a very, very, very good film and they take away anything controversial from it and make flatter.

Theres nothing more reassuring than a world thats crazier than you are.
