It's difficult to get to know a Swede. But once you do, you're in.

A true artist, in my mind, is willing to fail sometimes, because if you're not brave enough to say yes and follow your gut, it's never going to be good.

All the characters I play are all inside of me in a way, and they're all different, the darkness, the lightness, whatever that is.

Life isn't one-dimensional. The world isn't simply divided into good versus evil. I think we're all capable of both.

As an actor, what's interesting is what's hidden away beneath the surface. You want to be like a duck on a pond - very calm on the surface but paddling away like crazy underneath.

I'm an actor and I love to find new collaborations and new characters where I can grow as an actor and human being.

I don't fall often, but I fall hard. And when you fall hard, it takes a while to get up.

I'm pretty intense when it comes to relationships, platonic ones as well. If I feel a connection with someone, I'm willing to go there.

I've been a member of Greenpeace since I was a teenager.

I'm from Sweden. We don't wear clothes in Sweden.

Intelligence without wisdom brings destruction.

I will always be a girl that laughs as easily as she cries.

Nowadays, anyone who cannot speak English and is incapable of using the Internet is regarded as backward.

I cannot resist making the observation that some people use statistics as a drunk uses a lamppost - more to lean on than for illumination.

There was a time when young people respected learning and literature and now they don't.

There is nothing that needs to be said in an unkind manner.

Indians scattered on dawn's highway bleeding/Ghosts crowd the young child's fragile eggshell mind.

I probably hold more town halls than any member of Congress.

The only thing I've experienced that could compare to the launch in terms of raw power was the Loma Prieta earthquake.

If you can't think of what to write, tough luck; write anyway. If you can think of lots more when you've finished the three pages, don't write it; it'll be that much easier to get going next day.
