There is no overacting, only untrue acting.

I started acting long before I decided to pursue it. I started acting as an amateur when I was a kid, but I wanted to become a diplomat. It was self-centered and weird, but I had this idea of going out in the world and solving conflicts and making the world a better place.

The way I look at humanity, I don't think there's good guys or bad guys. We're all potentially bad and potentially good.

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

I've done so many sex scenes in my life and it's much easier to do a funny sex scene than a sex scene that is supposed to look like it feels.

It takes a long time to make me beautiful, but it goes fast to make me ugly.

I'm not lazy on set. I'm lazy in the rest of my life.
