“I’d like to do a romantic comedy.”

I would like to direct.

Funerals are important rituals. They don’t just recognize that a life has ended; they recognize that a life was lived.

Some movies I see today have the most dramatic plot points but the actors are not playing them dramatically.

The F.B.I. is about nuts and bolts. It’s all about witnesses and procedure and walking the streets.

You either die a hero or live long enough to become the villain.

It makes me feel good that I can now sit there and go, I’ve worked with Jack Nicholson, Al Pacino, all the great actors that I’ve worked with… Sir Ben Kingsley.

I have a dog and sometimes I’ll be the littlest kid with my dog and marvel at his ears and his nose and how he looks at me. If he died, I’d bawl like a baby.

Right now, I have to admit, that I’m more interested in giving people a little bit of hope and goodness.

Actors aren’t fighters. They don’t know how to throw a punch. So, there’s a lot of hitting in the face. I’d much rather fight with a stuntman than another actor. I don’t like fighting with other actors because somebody always ends up getting hurt.

I’m sort of fascinated by the whole espionage crime thing.

I like doing movies with kids in them, and you’re explaining things. They’re teaching you and you’re teaching them, and the audience can loop through that.

Yeah, I’d like to get the girl and at least make it through the film.

I don’t do comedy so much although I would like to do a comedy.

I always ask, why can’t I be just like Cary Grant or something.

I just liked to play football, no matter what the position.

At the time, number four of the Skarsgård actors. So in high school I majored in science and was like, “Maybe I’ll do something rebellious and become a doctor.”

Love is like air we can’t see it but feel it.

I need attention. I like the attention.

Fly it like you stole it!

I’m not like a high intellectual. That’s the thing.

I feel like it’s a skill that’s passable, but writing… writing is the worst. That’s what I’m doing right now, it’s just the hardest thing that you’ll ever do.

We’re still pushing it, you know. It is weird. Suddenly you wake up and it’s like, ‘God, five years have gone by.
