This worldwide spread of recognition is insane. I was brought up in a small country. If you made a Swedish film that just got into a film festival somewhere, that was like the biggest thing you could wish for.

I would say that the majority of the people I work with are Swedish, very unknown producers and writers but so talented.

I think it's so hard to get really, really strong parts where the actress can act. It's rare.

I want to be able to follow the example of those extraordinary British actresses who move effortlessly from film to TV to theatre roles.

You have actresses like Meryl Streep and Julia Roberts, who have roles specially written for them.

There are wonderfully talented actresses. It's a really rich field. There isn't as rich a field of material.

My sister was an actress when I was a kid - she still is a successful stage actress in Sweden.

There are lots of moments that are great for an actress.

People who would go to an arthouse cinema and watch a Swedish movie and read subtitles... it's a small percentage.

Every actress hopes to play a wide range of characters because not often you don't.
