More quotes by Alexander Skarsgard
There's something I love about how stark the contrast is between January and June in Sweden. In a way, I feel that time doesn't exist in LA. Sometimes I don't know if it's February or April or October, because you're always sitting outside on the same patio, and it's 70 degrees.
Alexander Skarsgard
It's difficult to get to know a Swede. But once you do, you're in.
Alexander Skarsgard
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.
Alexander Skarsgard
When I was four or five, I would organise my cars and my action figures. I needed some kind of structure, I think.
Alexander Skarsgard
I wasn't like a Hollywood child actor - I'm five! I can sing, I can dance, I can act! I wanna be a star!
Alexander Skarsgard
For me, creatively, I'd suffocate if I played the same thing, over and over again. I want challenges. I want to sit down with a director and be like, I've never done this before, but it's going to be exciting. It's scary, but really thrilling, so let's do it!
Alexander Skarsgard
Swedes are such a civilised, perfect society - at least on the surface. There's a great safety net, a huge middle class, free education, free health care. People are very polite, they wait their turn. They're not too loud, they're not too quiet, but sometimes it's a little too perfect.
Alexander Skarsgard
Being followed is weird, that people want to discuss where I ate lunch or what I wear when I go to lunch... the private life is just gone.
Alexander Skarsgard
If you are with someone who is awesome and having a good time, you can sit at a bus station and still have fun.
Alexander Skarsgard
I'm not interested in parts where they are looking for a good-looking guy. I want to be a weird little sidekick in a crazy comedy and then play like a dark drama or a thriller.
Alexander Skarsgard
You can use the internet in a way that's actually really great. It doesn't have to be about how amazing you are, or Come watch my show!, or Look what I'm wearing today. It doesn't have to be narcissistic.
Alexander Skarsgard
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.
Alexander Skarsgard
You can never connect on a deeper level if you idolise someone - you don't see the real person.
Alexander Skarsgard
When you meet a director who wants to remake a movie, you have to ask, does he or she have an interesting vision and idea, something that intrigues you - is there a reason why we should do this?
Alexander Skarsgard
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.
Alexander Skarsgard
Life is crazy. You travel and you're busy and there's so much going on that it's important to have the moments where you can breathe and you can just be present with the person or the people that you're there with.
Alexander Skarsgard
My plan was never to be an actor like my father...
Alexander Skarsgard
I was nervous when I first started True Blood because if you do a play or a movie, you know the complete arc of the character. You can see the end. But with a show like True Blood, you don't know what's going to happen.
Alexander Skarsgard
Whether I'm interested [in something] or not, step one is read the script and figure out if a character is someone I'd want to explore or not.
Alexander Skarsgard
I'm an actor and I love to find new collaborations and new characters where I can grow as an actor and human being.
