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.

More quotes by Joel Kinnaman
I used to be like Why are we doing a remake? What are remakes being done for? But then, we do that all the time in the theater. Retelling stories is what we've done since we were sitting around campfires. It's a part of the human spirit. It doesn't have to be negative to creativity. It can be completely opposite.
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
Swedes are a really humble and shy people in many ways, but I think it's pretty much the same as in the U.S. Little girls want to take photographs with me at lunch.
Joel Kinnaman
We're all a big hippie family so I got five sisters and a bunch of different mothers. Not really, but my sisters' mothers are all good friends with my mother. We're a big family, 25 people.
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
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
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
I сan't imagine how ROBOCOP could be PG-13.
Joel Kinnaman
I don't think there have been many alien movies where the actors have actually seen the aliens.
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
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
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
I miss the Swedish women on the first day of spring cause they all just blossom in the most incredible way.
Joel Kinnaman
Excuse me, I have to go. Somewhere there is a crime happening.
Joel Kinnaman
I really want to live in New York. That's the city of my dreams.
Joel Kinnaman
'The Killing' has a really great combination of qualities: Even though it's very sad and deals with mourning and grief, it's still exciting. It's about real people and it doesn't shy from the painful points of life.
Joel Kinnaman
With RoboCop, I couldn't be happier because it's such a quality director.José Padilha is a young master.
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
We all can relate to people's weaknesses. We might put up a facade that everything is perfect but none of us are. When we see that weakness in somebody else, we understand or give ourselves a little bit of leeway.
Joel Kinnaman
I think I've seen the first 'RoboCop' like 15 or 20 times. I'm like a kid that way.
