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.

More quotes by 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
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'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
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
It's difficult to get to know a Swede. But once you do, you're in.
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
A hipster is someone who's very aware of his style.
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
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
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
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
I'm not very active on social media. I'm not on Facebook or Twitter or Instagram, or anything like that. But I think it's wonderful that they're out there. They're fantastic. I have a lot of siblings and friends that use it, and it's great for them. It's such a connected world.
Alexander Skarsgard
You can never connect on a deeper level if you idolise someone - you don't see the real person.
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 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 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
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
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
When I was four or five, I would organise my cars and my action figures. I needed some kind of structure, I think.
