All directors are control freaks and very obsessive. I get the feeling that directors as kids, they all have had a childhood with not too much contact with other kids. They constructed their own reality and they continue to do it. It's a funny breed, directors.

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

People don't want to read subtitles.

Casting a film, you can have the greatest actors in a film and it doesn't work. It's a combination of all of the elements.

Unfortunately, the way the world is constructed, a lot of people have no chance, from day one.

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.

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