We need more extreme movies in Sweden, personal projects that aren’t necessarily made for a bigger audience. I think it creates a creative block to always have the audience as a goal.
I hate when you see a film and after one scene you know what’s going to happen and you can predict the whole story. I hate that. I think it’s very boring.
[on doing fight scenes in Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows (2011)] I tried to do as much as they allowed me to do. You get bruised, and your body aches, and you hurt yourself, but that’s kind of part of it. I am very self-critical, and I don’t like to pretend.

Happy Birthday: Sienna Miller
Everything just happened in the wrong order. I did my first proper film [Alfie (2004)] where I met Jude and we got together, and then the whole celebrity thing happened before I had any films out. So there’s nothing to overshadow the celebrity side of things. But hopefully with all the work that I’ve done this year, it’ll just take the focus off what I’m wearing or my relationship or whatever.
