More quotes by Alexander Skarsgard
When I'm on a plane, people know where I'm going before I even know where I'm going. People know where you had lunch yesterday, or who you had lunch with. So, trying to avoid sharing everything with everyone is my way of keeping something private in my life.
Alexander Skarsgard
I like to dress up and put on a nice suit for a party or a special event I do enjoy it, but on a daily basis I wear stuff that I feel comfortable in.
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
To turn off your phone when you go to your country house or you're on vacation for a few days is important. I turn off my phone and just check it once a day. I turn it on and, if it's an important message, I'll call back. Otherwise, it can wait.
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
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
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
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
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
I've been a member of Greenpeace since I was a teenager.
Alexander Skarsgard
It's difficult to get to know a Swede. But once you do, you're in.
Alexander Skarsgard
I can't express how much admiration I have for women in general, who walk around in high heels, but, drag queens, oh my god.
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
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 have to be careful because there is something destructive within me, I think, and I can have a tendency to just search for the kicks. I can't really get too close to someone who's too destructive, or too dark, because then I might go down the rabbit hole myself.
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
I'm an actor and I love to find new collaborations and new characters where I can grow as an actor and human being.
Alexander Skarsgard
I spent two months in Fredericksburg, Texas, when I was 8, while my father shot a movie, and I loved it. I just embraced the whole cowboy culture. I got myself a pair of awesome boots and a cowboy hat.
Alexander Skarsgard
When we were shooting in Shreveport, me and a couple of friends went down to Lafayette, because they had a big Zydeco music festival down there. We spent two days dancing to Zydeco music, eating fried alligator... It was one of the craziest festivals I've ever been to in my life, but I loved it.
