I'm constantly embarrassed at the level of attention actors get and the level of money that we get. It's completely disproportionate.

It's not about being proud of Sweden it's just a sense of belonging. Even if you've lived in a place for a long time, those first formative years are going to be a part of you forever, and it's something you can't replace.

I worked with Lady Gaga for a day on a video shoot. It was crazy we had a lot of fun. I had a great time.

I've lived in California for six years and I've never surfed.

A character on screen that's the 'good guy' or the 'bad guy,' they're never interesting. There's got to be an internal struggle, the duality is important to find.

There's something I love about how stark the contrast is between January and June in Sweden.

I've always been a night person. There's a sense of virtue attached to getting up in the morning and doing things and starting the day, and I always felt bad for not being that person. But as I've gotten a bit older, now I'm completely okay with it. That's just who I am.

I come from a family of pacifists, so it's not like I was going to join the war. Sweden is not like the States or England where you might get sent to Afghanistan next month.

I see myself as most people see themselves, you have good days and bad days. I don't think I'm better looking now than I did three years ago.

Acting was always there, it's true. But for a long time, in my teenage years, I wasn't sure about it - not because I didn't like it, but I didn't want people to think I hadn't earned it.

I feel like I'm the best actor on the planet and I also feel like I'm a fraud. I think hubris comes from insecurity. Confidence comes in a more rooted sense part of being confident is being able to say, I can be really shitty, and to accept that. But also not to crumble under it.

Personally I don't believe in bad people. I think there's always a reason for people acting badly.
