More quotes by Joel Kinnaman
I always look for good stories and good characters, and if they're placed in a whodunit, then I'm interested.
Joel Kinnaman
You can make an interesting character in a small portion of a movie, for a character that doesn't have that much on the page, if you just find the contradictions. That's something that I try to bring to my performances.
Joel Kinnaman
We don't know why we are here and . . . our role in the universe, and the thought of an infinite universe. It's something the human mind can't really grasp. [And] it's statistically impossible that there's not life on other planets.
Joel Kinnaman
I believe that this life is all we have. I don't believe in anything after this, so I think the choices we make here are so important and the relationships we choose are crucial, especially in that time when we are developing ourselves and we're becoming adults.
Joel Kinnaman
If you think back to the moments when you've gone through the most pain in your life, or the most severe anxiety, your body is very much involved in that. Your body is expressing those emotions. So, when we, as actors, try to access those feelings, the body is a great tool to use.
Joel Kinnaman
I really want to live in New York. That's the city of my dreams.
Joel Kinnaman
It's always the thing when you're shooting out and about with real people and you could get a couple of bogeys like sticking their face in front of the camera, like 'Hey!'
Joel Kinnaman
Being an actor in movies is a lot about the power of your imagination and making the circumstance real to you so the audience will feel that it's real.
Joel Kinnaman
What I enjoy most with acting is when it's a good scene with one or two other actors, and you feel a strong connection and you don't know how you're going to respond, and everybody is listening to each other and getting affected by each other, and even though you've rehearsed it many times, it feels like it's happening right now.
Joel Kinnaman
I don't think there have been many alien movies where the actors have actually seen the aliens.
Joel Kinnaman
There are a lot of wrong reasons to do a remake, but there are some good ones... I think it's human nature, in many ways, to retell our favorite stories. We do it in the theater, all the time. I've seen four different 'Hamlets,' and every one has given me something different.
Joel Kinnaman
You have to think before speaking. That's a quality I'm continuously evolving. For some reason, it seems like I'm bumping my head into the wall a little bit too many times.
Joel Kinnaman
There's a lot of neuroscience now raising the question, 'Is all the intelligence in the human body in the brain?', and they're finding out that, no, it's not like that. The body has intelligence itself, and we're much more of an organic creature in that way.
Joel Kinnaman
I think you're always afraid when you go into like a big superhero movie that it's gonna be kinda just action and you're not gonna be able to just really go to the bottom of the characters.
Joel Kinnaman
Excuse me, I have to go. Somewhere there is a crime happening.
Joel Kinnaman
As actors we're like these vagabond artists, we have to be invited to perform so if you don't have a choice of options its very hard to define yourself.
Joel Kinnaman
You're always trying to look for material that is as challenging as possible, so that's why I like stuff where the characters go through the most difficult times they've ever had in their life. It makes me push myself further and learn more about myself.
Joel Kinnaman
With RoboCop, I couldn't be happier because it's such a quality director.José Padilha is a young master.
Joel Kinnaman
I think for a lot of people that had seen me do Snabba Cash, after watching The Killing, I think they got a sense that I could do different kinds of characters.
Joel Kinnaman
I hate pork rinds. I couldn’t imagine how anybody would ever get the idea of taking skin from a pig and frying it and then trying to sell it to people. And then people actually buy it to eat it. That is the true sign of the decline of the human race.
Joel Kinnaman
