To me, it's all about inspiration. What gets me creatively excited is a challenge.

Personally I don't believe in bad people. I think there's always a reason for people acting badly.

I'm constantly embarrassed at the level of attention actors get and the level of money that we get. It's completely disproportionate.

A character on screen that's the 'good guy' or the 'bad guy,' they're never interesting. There's got to be an internal struggle, the duality is important to find.

In movies we tend make things black and white: you're either this, or you're that.

In terms of jobs, I'm an actor. There's gotta' be depth there. I'd never say yes to something just to play the hot guy. That's not what I'm interested in.

I don't want to ever think that I don't know what to do. I want to deal with my own things, to perform my own roles, to be like, "I did this."

I've lived in California for six years and I've never surfed.

TV is a very sensitive thing. If you're not happy with what you're doing, I don't think you should do it because you will do it for awhile.

I come from a family of pacifists, so it's not like I was going to join the war. Sweden is not like the States or England where you might get sent to Afghanistan next month.

Sweden is a small country and, well, our family's pretty prominent in that world, I guess. And I really didn't like the sound of just being 'the fourth acting Skarsgard.

I guess we're oil and water. (Phoebe)I'd say we're more like gasoline and a blowtorch. (Dan)

Tar had a reason, plenty of reasons. The latest were painted on his face, too.

Tea time is a chance to slow down, pull back and appreciate our surroundings.

But what I think my emphasis is, is on the fact that I like music a lot.

I grew up thinking art was pictures until I got into music and found I was an artist and didn't paint.

I didn't start smoking weed till my junior year. I had a boyfriend who smoked a lot, and I was like, "Oh, I guess I'm moving on to this phase of life." I didn't fight it at all.

You can endure change by pondering His permanence.

Many think kids have lots of time and few responsibilities. And that's just not true. They are stressed and under pressure.

I've probably said that in every feature I've been in. I've been repeatedly defined as the girlfriend or wife.

Why can't I be different and unusual... like everyone else?
