I'm happy that people have watched and appreciated my work. That's why I'm doing it.
Quote by -Joel Kinnaman
An amateur can be great in front of the camera, but you need an education to get on stage where you have full control as an actor.
Quote by -Joel Kinnaman
A big moment for me was when I did a play that was a new adaptation of Dostojevskij's 'Crime and Punishment,' and I played Raskolnikov. It was actually the first thing I did when I got out of acting school.
Quote by -Joel Kinnaman
What I enjoy most with acting is when it's a good scene with one or two other actors, and you feel a strong connection, and you don't know how you're going to respond, and everybody is listening to each other and getting affected by each other, and even though you've rehearsed it many times, it feels like it's happening right now.
Quote by -Joel Kinnaman
Have you seen these Japanese hospital droids, or humanoids, or whatever they call it? They've perfected the skin, and the skin looks so real. They have these motors between the eyes for when they smile. It's just mind-blowing.
Quote by -Joel Kinnaman
I'm not a method actor per se, but if I'm playing a character that, at its core of its persona, has experiences I don't have, I try to search out and get firsthand experiences of similar sorts so I have something to fantasize about.
Quote by -Joel Kinnaman
I think that in Sweden and a lot of European countries, there's this whole mythology of the wounded artist: that you can't really do any great art unless you're suffering.
Quote by -Joel Kinnaman
Mid-range to low-budget movies have to have a name in the lead to get financing for it.
Quote by -Joel Kinnaman
I'm battling with keeping my narcissism at bay as it is, so Twitter was not a good thing for that.
Quote by -Joel Kinnaman
I love 'Breaking Bad.' I'd watch Bryan Cranston read the phone book, for days.
Quote by -Joel Kinnaman
It's very nice to be in a show where your vanity is completely out of the picture.
Quote by -Joel Kinnaman
In philosophy, they talk a lot about humans being actual organic machines, and the idea of free will is something that we've made up. We actually don't have free will. We're acting according to our programming as organic mechanisms.
Quote by -Joel Kinnaman
Nobody wants to be depressed - everybody's trying to feel better; when they strive and fail, it's all the more poignant.
Quote by -Joel Kinnaman
I speak English with my dad and Swedish with my mom; it's quite schizophrenic.
Quote by -Joel Kinnaman
The way I live my life or conduct myself when I have a problem is very different from many of the characters I play.
Quote by -Joel Kinnaman
In terms of whether my mom was influential, I think she instilled a certain way of thinking in me quite early: having a reflective mindset regarding my actions and trying to find the underlying reasons to behavior. I think that's quite helpful when you're trying to understand a character.
Quote by -Joel Kinnaman
I've followed Gary Oldman his whole career... I've watched the movies he's directed, like 'Nil by Mouth' - I've seen that five times!
Quote by -Joel Kinnaman
I love watching Samuel L. Jackson do anything, but for me, Gary Oldman is the grandmaster of the game.
Quote by -Joel Kinnaman
I like L.A., but it's just too many people in the same business everywhere you go. You lose perspective.
Quote by -Joel Kinnaman
I read a couple of books about neuroscience and the relationship between the mind and the body.
Quote by -Joel Kinnaman
When I first heard 'Robocop' was going to be remade. I said, 'Yeah, that's interesting. I'll probably watch that at some point, but I'm not interested at all to be in it.'
Quote by -Joel Kinnaman
I don't think being a star has ever been part of the plan. But I always want to do really good work, even when I made career moves with projects that made more sense in sort of a career way than in an artistic way... like I did with 'The Darkest Hour.'
Quote by -Joel Kinnaman
Danish is a different language, even though Danish people understand Swedes, and very few Swedes understand Danish.
Quote by -Joel Kinnaman
I feel like I've got the best job in the world. I just feel so fortunate to get paid to be a kid and play with my friends. So if it's rough or a little bit hot, you just have to deal with that.
Quote by -Joel Kinnaman
I look at characters to see if they have some contrasts to play with; I think that's always what I'm looking for in characters: ones that have a wide range of expression.
Quote by -Joel Kinnaman
I don't reflect on sort of the age of the roles that I get. It's usually just what plays into what's believable - 'Am I believable at this age?'
Quote by -Joel Kinnaman
My sister was an actress when I was a kid - she still is a successful stage actress in Sweden.
Quote by -Joel Kinnaman
What we did wrong on 'RoboCop,' we just did something new and didn't really take into account what the fans really loved about the original.
Quote by -Joel Kinnaman
H&M makes it easy for a guy to look great every single day and create a personal style. Their men's collection always gives me a choice of how I want to dress, whether it be sharp in a suit and polo-neck, or more relaxed in jeans and a tweed jacket.
Quote by -Joel Kinnaman
The north of Sweden is very socialist and poor. They feel left out and despise Stockholm in many ways because Stockholm has become new liberals and much more Americanized.
Quote by -Joel Kinnaman
I have a lot of funny friends, and we joke a lot, but I've never really played comedic parts.
Quote by -Joel Kinnaman
It's technically demanding to shoot in 3-D. It's an extra element. Also, just the size of the cameras. They look like these 'Transformers' monsters; they are incredibly big, many of them.
