Alexander Skarsgard Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von 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.

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 don't really have any plans in terms of what I want to do - movies, television, theater - but I'd love to do a play in New York.

I'm tall in Sweden, but I'm huge in Hollywood.

Alexander Skarsgard

I'm pretty intense when it comes to relationships, platonic ones as well. If I feel a connection with someone, I'm willing to go there.

Alexander Skarsgard

It was always chaos with Mom, Dad, uncles, you know; we all lived in the same building. Dinner parties with 25 people every night.

Alexander Skarsgard

In some people's eyes, nudity is so much more dangerous than violence. I never really understood that.

Alexander Skarsgard

I saw 'Tootsie' with Jessica Lange when I was eight or nine. I remember feeling something in my stomach. I didn't know what it was, but I wanted to watch that movie over and over again.

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

On a global scale, the way Trump talks about dealing with foreign policy is very scary.

Alexander Skarsgard

As a teenager, I didn't want to be an actor at all.

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'm always going with my visceral reaction when I read a script. I am more drawn to characters who are conflicted, and in developing a character exploration. If it's a baddie, I'm rarely intrigued, and if it's a goody two-shoes - too much of a good guy - I'm not, either.

Alexander Skarsgard

I'm really into 'Veep.' I think that the showrunner Armando Iannucci is a genius.

Alexander Skarsgard

We don't have paparazzi following you in Sweden.

Alexander Skarsgard

In general, we are lazy as consumers and just want to label people as good guy, bad guy.

Alexander Skarsgard

To go from 'Generation Kill,' which is a very real, dark, gritty series, to 'True Blood,' which is flamboyant, crazy, way out there... I couldn't ask for two better jobs.

Alexander Skarsgard

I wasn't like a Hollywood child actor - 'I'm five! I can sing, I can dance, I can act! I wanna be a star!'

Alexander Skarsgard

I spent two months in Fredericksburg, Texas, when I was 8, while my father shot a movie, and I loved it. I just embraced the whole cowboy culture. I got myself a pair of awesome boots and a cowboy hat.

Alexander Skarsgard

I've always been interested in those Orwellian dystopian novels, like 'Fahrenheit 451,' 'Brave New World,' and obviously Orwell's '1984.'

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

There was this sausage factory a block away from my childhood apartment. It didn't smell nice, like chorizo or something; it was pretty foul. Just nasty. But that smell reminds me so much of my childhood because every morning when I was going to school, I would smell that.

Alexander Skarsgard

Swedes are such a civilised, perfect society - at least on the surface. There's a great safety net, a huge middle class, free education, free health care. People are very polite, they wait their turn. They're not too loud, they're not too quiet, but sometimes it's a little too perfect.

Alexander Skarsgard

It's difficult to get to know a Swede. But once you do, you're in.

Alexander Skarsgard

You can never connect on a deeper level if you idolise someone - you don't see the real person.

Alexander Skarsgard

I don't like those artificial air fresheners. They just smell so fake. It's too much.

Alexander Skarsgard

I was raised by this whole community of artists. It was pretty wild.

Alexander Skarsgard

When people stare at you, and you read about yourself in papers - at 13, it just got very confusing. I thought that if this is what it's like to be famous, I don't like it one bit.

Alexander Skarsgard

Sweden is a good country to raise a family in because there is an equality there I don't feel in the States.

Alexander Skarsgard

We are civilized human beings, but we're all animals deep down, and that creates a certain friction in all of us.

Alexander Skarsgard

To me, when I watch movies, it's always fun to watch the bad cop or the bad guy.

Alexander Skarsgard

Routines, or lack thereof, are a pretty good way to get to know someone.

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.

Alexander Skarsgard

I don't really have a three-year plan or a five-year plan. I don't know what's next, and that's what I find quite exciting. I dig it.

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

It's all about trying to find those projects where you get to enjoy yourself, because I think that's when you create as well: when you're genuinely excited about something. Then you're not just doing it because it's your job.
