Stellan Skarsgard

"All directors are control freaks and very obsessive. I get the feeling that directors as kids, they all have had a childhood with not too much contact with other kids. They constructed their own reality and they continue to do it. It's a funny breed, directors."

"There was a Russian director named Elem Klimov, who did his films during the communist days. They were constantly struggling with the authorities and to be allowed to express themselves. But he did one of the best war movies I've ever seen - it's called 'Come and See."

"Man is such an amazing animal, and the possibilities are infinite for each person."

"I don't do sports, really."

"I really enjoy being part of the Marvel Universe. It's a cool bunch of people to work with, and they know what they're doing."

"My preparation for roles are less about the character's profession than who they are, what their dreams are, and in what way are they childish."

"I do believe in humanism, and I believe that we should treat each other with respect and care and look after each other. All human beings should have an equal chance to survive in society, and inequality is a big problem in society."
