Peter Stormare

In my career, I've been lucky to do the bad guys that are more interesting, where the audience wants to spend more time with them and get to know them. That's what I'm always looking for and trying to do.

I don't ever want to have a job where I just punch a clock.

I was brought up telling stories, when I was a kid, in the tiny village where I grew up. Storytelling was a tradition.

If I ran for president, the first thing I'd do is legalize everyone who's been here paying taxes, working, paying taxes. Mothers and fathers of kids born in the U.S. should get a green card.

I have the luxury of being a little boy... To me, the most important thing in life is to be a human being. Second is acting.

The best paycheck you can get as a producer and creator is when people are happy to be on the show.

I'm a curious human being, and I love things that are a little bit off.

I love to fantasize still, as I did as a little boy. If I see a movie, I want to fantasize about what it's all about.

I like to create characters that are larger than life. But it's funny because I do a lot of bad guys, and it's because, being European, I usually get cast as bad guys. It's just how it is.

How brittle life is, yet it's been going on for thousands and thousands of years. Maybe we should sit down and pay tribute to life instead of just destruction.

To me, the most important thing in life is to be a human being. Second is acting.

Everyone that've been here, working, living as Americans - just give them a green card.
