| Quotes: |
I'm interested in people's darker side, the ones that aren't easy and well balanced. The cracks.
<br />
<hr>
We need more extreme movies in Sweden, personal projects that aren't necessarily made for a bigger audience. I think it creates a creative block to always have the audience as a goal.
<br />
<hr>
I hate when you see a film and after one scene you know what's going to happen and you can predict the whole story. I hate that. I think it's very boring.
<br />
<hr>
[on doing fight scenes in Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows (2011)] I tried to do as much as they allowed me to do. You get bruised, and your body aches, and you hurt yourself, but that's kind of part of it. I am very self-critical, and I don't like to pretend.
<br />
<hr>
[on how she got the role as Lisbeth Salander] At first, he(Niels Arden Oplev) said no, it may even have been that he thought I was too good-looking. I looked feminine and soft, maybe a bit too girlie, too cute. And of course, Lisbeth had to be more of a tomboy. I said, if you trust me, I'll do anything you want me to do to become her. And he finally agreed. |
