As actors we're like these vagabond artists, we have to be invited to perform so if you don't have a choice of options its very hard to define yourself.

I went to high school in Texas for one year, my senior year. My parents wanted me to get out of Stockholm because I was running with the wrong crew. They wanted me to get back to my roots.

Swedes are a really humble and shy people in many ways, but I think it's pretty much the same as in the U.S. Little girls want to take photographs with me at lunch.

I don't think there have been many alien movies where the actors have actually seen the aliens.

You have to think before speaking. That's a quality I'm continuously evolving. For some reason, it seems like I'm bumping my head into the wall a little bit too many times.

I usually have pretty good intuition on projects that I work on.

I think for a lot of people that had seen me do Snabba Cash, after watching The Killing, I think they got a sense that I could do different kinds of characters.

I think I'm a boxer, but then when I get hurt, I'll start scrapping.

Excuse me, I have to go. Somewhere there is a crime happening.

You're not able to do a lot of projects because you don't have a name. I wanted to get my movies to come over that hedge, so that I could do the movies that I wanted to do.

We're all a big hippie family so I got five sisters and a bunch of different mothers. Not really, but my sisters' mothers are all good friends with my mother. We're a big family, 25 people.

Every generation that goes into your genes is a generation of fighters, of survivors. And all those millions of lives are in you, in your blood.

Excuses are a time thief. Have a goal, accept responsibility, and take action!

I wanted to see the bullet coming, wanted to know the exact moment of my death.

If your busy with yourself now, you will be busy with yourself then. If you are busy with Allah now, you will be with Him then.

I have the exact opposite problem of every writer I've ever met: Every writer I've ever met writes things that are too long, and they have to edit them down.

When meditation makes you realize that you have so many limitations of your own and they are all created by you, the longing to break them will come.

It's hard to be super full of yourself in Canada. If there was a motto of Canada, it would be, "Who do you think you are, eh?"

I like books. I've always got a literature book going. I'd be in there reading, in my off time.

It's the rare happening when actors get together and you have chemistry, connection, just something that works, that's bigger than what's on the page.

Mental health is such a complex thing and so difficult to diagnose. What is a mental problem? Who does have mental problems? What's the difference between mental problems and depression and sadness?
