In general, we are lazy as consumers and just want to label people as good guy, bad guy. ”

I'm tall in Sweden, but I'm huge in Hollywood. ”

I saw 'Tootsie' with Jessica Lange when I was eight or nine. I remember feeling something in my stomach. I didn't know what it was, but I wanted to watch that movie over and over again. ”
