But now I wish I could back to Stockholm to make international films there.

I am always more interested in performance and character depiction, and my direction says as much.

I'm on this diet where you're supposed to eat only fish and meat.

My father would tell anyone who would listen that this dentist thing he was doing was not his passion; cinematography was.

Cinema has become a global economy, totally international.

I was always attracted by the European way of life, but I am deeply Swedish.

My father was an amateur filmmaker who shot 8mm color documentaries.

I imagined that it might be awkward to talk to your wife about her performance, so going into it I was a little nervous. But doing it was actually a wonderfully inspiring experience.

I love mixing amateurs and professionals.

I can't go back and label myself as an outcast because I was a pretty well-adjusted kid, but I can certainly relate to the feeling of being an outsider.

I love involving actors at all levels - and they have to know that I want to hear their contributions, with dialogue, with story suggestions, with script changes, whatever.

The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting. It has been found difficult and left untried.

Extraordinary people always inspire others.

I had the honor to meet Nelson Mandela, and I heard him explain his forgiveness of his captors of 27 years by saying hatred and bitterness is destructive - the power is in love and forgiveness.

A busybody's work is never done.

When there is no longer a cyclone, there is no longer an eye. So the storms, crises and sufferings of life are a way of finding the eye.

I'm interested in the real world.

I'm not a drug person. I don't like drugs. I went to college in London, so it was kind of the curriculum there. I got it out of my system really young.

I am the astronaut of boxing. Joe Louis and Dempsey were just jet pilots. I'm in a world of my own.

We can save ourselves, but only if we let go of the myth of dominance and mastery and learn to work with nature.

And that's my point: all great things worth having require great sacrifice worth giving.
