I am always more interested in performance and character depiction, and my direction says as much.

I was always attracted by the European way of life, but I am deeply Swedish.

I think I avoid stepping into sentimentality by trying to be as truthful as possible with performances.

I always try to preserve my cinematographic style, even while I work in the US. I wish to always be European.

My key interest in choosing scripts is character-driven stories, because there are so many stories that sacrifice character for plot.

I am always worried when someone says, 'This is perfect.'
