Being an actor in movies is a lot about the power of your imagination and making the circumstance real to you so the audience will feel that it's real.

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.

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 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.

Freedom of the press belongs to the man who owns one.

I love bawdy humor, but not dirty humor.

Well, in Bradford I could say I was brought up in Bradford and Hollywood.

You remember with what you are at the time you are remembering.

I have heard it remarked that men are not to be reasoned out of an opinion they have not reasoned themselves into.

Women singly do a good deal of harm. Women in bulk are chastening.

Timeliness is best in all matters.

A man who walks with God, can walk anywhere. Hence, I fear nothing.

When I was very young and the urge to be someplace was on me, I was assured by mature people that maturity would cure this itch.

I feel very uneasy with a lot of aspects of the Russian life and the Russian people.
