believe fighting artist
For me, artists and people that are passionate are fighting for what they believe in and what they want, and that's always appealing. I find that really interesting.
teenager hair looks
I was a punk rocker when I was a teenager. I wanted to look like Nancy Spungen. I had dyed blonde hair and lots of piercings.
victim ifs
If I don't see myself as a victim, then I'm not a victim.
personality acting shapes
I'm terrified of being too famous. What I'm really afraid of is that the audiences will go into the theater and not be able to forget that it's me, that fame will stand in the way of my acting. I want to keep being able to change into different shapes and different personalities.
people tricky difficult
I'd much rather work with people that are tricky and difficult than people that just say yes to everything.
It's better to not be afraid of things and not avoid things.
passionate
When I don't understand things, I become passionate to understand.
husband my-husband millennium
My husband, when I was filming the Millennium movies, he asked me, `How far are you going and when are you coming back?'
jobs thinking ideas
Sometimes I have good ideas. I love that part of our job. It's a constant process of searching, of exploring stuff, and realizing things. You can be in the middle of the film and it's like, "Oh my God! I think we need to do this! Maybe in this scene she should shave her head!"
moving accepting force
I'm never satisfied. I can always find things that I can do better and go further on, so I force myself to accept when someone says, "We have it, it's good and we can move on."
people magic actors
I want actors. I want to be with other people. I don't wanna be alone, because of the connection when you're in a room, in a scene with someone, and it comes to life. You feel like the moment is something magic.
strong cinema actors
I always had this huge respect for American filmmakers and American actors. I always had this very strong love and respect for the American cinema. I always knew that I was going to leave Sweden.
character thinking passionate
I think that I'm very passionate, and I know that if I decide to do a film, my character is going to take over my life.
