More quotes by 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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
You can never connect on a deeper level if you idolise someone - you don't see the real person.
Alexander Skarsgard
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.
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
Why do I love being naked? Because I was born that way?
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
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
A hipster is someone who's very aware of his style.

It's difficult to get to know a Swede. But once you do, you're in.

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
I've been a member of Greenpeace since I was a teenager.
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.
