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

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.

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.

I think I will do nothing for a long time but listen, And accrue what I hear into myself...and let sound contribute toward me.

It has been a long journey, but if you dream and have the ambition and want to work hard, then you can achieve.

I ought to have more love before I die. I've not had enough.

Our democracy is the centerpiece of who we are as a nation. And it is the fondest hope of all Americans that we can help bring democracy to every corner of the world.

Foolproof systems to not take into account the ingenuity of fools.

I was always in search of a perfect game and I never got it.

Everything I have said or done is in the hands of God. I commit myself to Him! I certify to you that I would do or say nothing against the Christian faith.

Again, I'm used to speaking to a lot of people; I have a lot of friends and family, and I perform music and speak in front of a lot of crowds. So I share with people already a lot in my life.

Do not be wedded forever to fear, yoked eternally to brutishness.

What we love that we have, but by desire we bereave ourselves of the love.
