Joel Kinnaman Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Joel Kinnaman:

An amateur can be great in front of the camera, but you need an education to get on stage where you have full control as an actor.

I've followed Gary Oldman his whole career... I've watched the movies he's directed, like 'Nil by Mouth' - I've seen that five times!

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

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

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 really want to live in New York. That's the city of my dreams.

Joel Kinnaman

I think I've seen the first 'RoboCop' like 15 or 20 times. I'm like a kid that way.

Joel Kinnaman

I'm a bit like a chameleon with my accent.

Joel Kinnaman

When I first came to the States, I thought I had a perfect American accent, and then I was abruptly becoming aware that it wasn't. So I did have to work on it a little bit, but I was hesitant working on it because I thought it was good.

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

The original 'RoboCop' was X-rated, and then they had to cut it down so it became R-rated, and Verhoeven claimed that actually made the movie more violent, because it's what you don't see that actually scares you.

Joel Kinnaman

In philosophy, they talk a lot about humans being actual organic machines, and the idea of free will is something that we've made up. We actually don't have free will. We're acting according to our programming as organic mechanisms.

Joel Kinnaman

An amateur can be great in front of the camera, but you need an education to get on stage where you have full control as an actor.

Joel Kinnaman

I went to high school in Texas for one year, my senior year. My parents wanted me to get out of Stockholm because I was running with the wrong crew. They wanted me to get back to my roots.

Joel Kinnaman

I love 'Breaking Bad.' I'd watch Bryan Cranston read the phone book, for days.

Joel Kinnaman

My parents got married when I was 12.

Joel Kinnaman

In most scripts, one or two characters have a lot of colors.

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 don't think there have been many alien movies where the actors have actually seen the aliens.

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

I usually have pretty good intuition on projects that I work on.

Joel Kinnaman

Danish is a different language, even though Danish people understand Swedes, and very few Swedes understand Danish.

Joel Kinnaman

It's so scary to go on stage. I used to throw up before I went on stage, every time.

Joel Kinnaman

I love 'Starship Troopers.' I've seen it ten times.

Joel Kinnaman

We are all a unique person with everyone we meet.

Joel Kinnaman

We don't know why we are here and the context of our role in the universe, and the thought of an infinite universe. It's something the human mind can't really grasp. It's statistically impossible that there's not life on other planets.

Joel Kinnaman

The north of Sweden is very socialist and poor. They feel left out and despise Stockholm in many ways because Stockholm has become new liberals and much more Americanized.

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

My father is American and deserted the Vietnam War.

Joel Kinnaman

A lot of the friends I had went on to become criminals.

Joel Kinnaman

It's hard to act with just your jaw.

Joel Kinnaman

When I first heard 'Robocop' was going to be remade. I said, 'Yeah, that's interesting. I'll probably watch that at some point, but I'm not interested at all to be in it.'

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, it's very hard to define yourself.

Joel Kinnaman

In Sweden, there's a lot of talk of gender equality. That discussion isn't as prevalent in the U.S. I feel that successful American women are tougher than Swedish women - they create their space.

Joel Kinnaman

I've learned to steer away from the wrong kind of woman for me.

Joel Kinnaman

H&M makes it easy for a guy to look great every single day and create a personal style. Their men's collection always gives me a choice of how I want to dress, whether it be sharp in a suit and polo-neck, or more relaxed in jeans and a tweed jacket.
