To see my wife getting inspired from my notes and thoughts, going in the direction I wanted, and have her surprise me with wonderful choices was a real treat.

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.

Wisdom must yield to superstition's rules, Who arms with bigot zeal the hand of fools.

And now it was official: I loved REI more than I loved the people behind Snapple lemonade.

There is advantage in the wisdom won from pain.

Al Gore wants us to clean up our factories...when China and other countries couldn't care less. China, Japan, and India are laughing at America's stupidity.

Think higher, feel deeper.

If you spend a lot of time on sportsmanship, you're going to spend a lot of time losing.

There was one time I wrestled two boys and I beat them both! They weighed a lot less than I did and I think they didn't want to hurt a girl, so I don't know if I really won - I'd like to think I did.

People keep me going. I believe people are wonderful.

I gave my genius to my life, but my talent to my art.

He that shall peruse the political pamphlets of any past reign will wonder why they were so eagerly read, or so loudly praised.
