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

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

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

I am attracted to myths.

Kevin, as the whole cast is, just wonderful people and great people, and people who are attracted to this kind of material and accepting the idea of going to Newfoundland and knowing the kind of lack of amenities.

I got to work with my wife, Lena Olin, for the first time, which was great. I thought it might be difficult in some way to talk to one's wife in a different way but it was so not forced.
