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.

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.

If you're a great documentary filmmaker, it doesn't necessarily mean that you're a great narrative filmmaker. There are fantastic documentary filmmakers that can't direct actors. You don't have to do that in a documentary, if it's a real documentary.

You can never connect on a deeper level if you idolise someone - you don't see the real person.

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.

Life isn't one-dimensional. The world isn't simply divided into good versus evil. I think we're all capable of both.

I'm from Sweden. We don't wear clothes in Sweden.

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.

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!
