More quotes by 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
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
A lot of times we associate Greenpeace and climate change and shrinking polar caps with heavy-handed, weighty material. It's somber stuff. But with Funny Or Die we thought we could put an interesting take on it. Make it a little more palatable, especially for young people who tune into the website.
Alexander Skarsgard
I'm from Sweden. We don't wear clothes in Sweden.
Alexander Skarsgard
You can never connect on a deeper level if you idolise someone - you don't see the real person.
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
A hipster is someone who's very aware of his style.
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
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.
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 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'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
As an actor, what's interesting is what's hidden away beneath the surface. You want to be like a duck on a pond - very calm on the surface but paddling away like crazy underneath.
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
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
Life isn't one-dimensional. The world isn't simply divided into good versus evil. I think we're all capable of both.
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
It's difficult to get to know a Swede. But once you do, you're in.
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!
