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.

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 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.

In this life at least, Our fate is rarely epic.Maybe just as well, Impervious heroes we are not…

Women weren't to be trusted. Or forgiven. Men weren't to be trusted either. Not a woman alive would dispute that.

Dreams are the poetry of life to be written with love and actions.

WordPress makes it drop-dead easy to start a site. Take my advice and go do it.

All kinds of beauty do not inspire love; there is a kind which only pleases the sight, but does not captivate the affections.

The great paralysis of our heart is unbelief.

Action is hope. There is no hope without action.

The hardest lesson I've had to learn in my life is that my intelligence is inversely correlated to my humility. The more I thought I knew, the less I actually knew.
