I guess it's a bit cliché, but as an actor, I really admire good writing. There are a lot of great ideas out there, but it's the execution that really makes it work.

Never say "never" about anything, because if you do, life has a way of humbling you.

History repeats itself over and over again, but most of us have short memories.

A lot of times in life, women want to talk, but men don't want to listen, and if they do want to listen, they turn it back to themselves.

Never take anything at face value. Dare to question and seek the truth.

The writers are very good about misdirection and changeups, and that's what's great about it. We always think we know what's going to happen and then they throw a curveball that you don't see coming.

I see fans all the time. They're always very complimentary and they're always very eager to talk and to share their experiences or get a selfie. They're really, really loyal. And intense.

If you never been rabid, you ain't never lived.

Making films is - or should be - a very personal experience. You shouldn't listen to anybody, other than the people you choose to listen to.

In organizations (or even in a society) where culture is weak, you need an abundance of heavy, precise rules and processes.

The best camera, is the one that you have with you!

I'm an easy person to get along with. Even when I struggle, I have the same attitude.

You can have economic freedom without political freedom, but you cannot have political freedom without economic freedom.

A fool is one whom simpletons believe to be a man on merit. [Fr., Un fat celui que les sots croient un homme de merite.]

It's kind of like family. I can't say that we go out to lunch and to the movies every day with each other. Everyone's fully grown adult women with lives.

For death betimes is comfort, not dismay, and who can rightly die needs no delay.

Don’t ever fight with Lisbeth Salander. Her attitude towards the rest of the world is that if someone threatens her with a gun, she’ll get a bigger gun.
