[re careers of his and collaborator/wife Melissa] We’re not very far removed from having to take any job that we can find, to get a job, because you want to be working. Someone sends you a script for the craziest idea ever-it could be about, like, the Abominable Snow-Woman-and you could be like, ‘I don’t know, maybe we should consider it?’

On the purchase of his neighborhood cinema by a radical evangelical church planning ‘to redeem the arts through Christian discipleship’: It’s offensive – the arts don’t require redemption. The arts exist within a morally complicated zone, unlike an evangelical church which is morally infantile.

Al Jolson was my first husband. He always used to boast that he was spoiling me for any man who might come after him. I think Al sensed that it wasn’t easy for me being married to an American institution . . . Was he right about spoiling me? I’m sorry. I couldn’t possibly say. I couldn’t be that indiscreet.

Born: August 25, 1981 in Los Angeles, California, USA

I grew up sort of like a princess. I know that sounds awful, but I was the baby of the family. I had older brothers, so the little girl always gets everything she wants. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve realized that if you want something bad enough, you can have it. I’ve never gone after something I didn’t get. Not yet.

Born: August 25, 1976 in Stockholm, Stockholms län, Sweden

I don’t want people to know too much about me. It’s easier for people to suspend belief that way. There’s a risk when people see you in a part and they’re watching Alexander Skarsgard. Also, I learned from my father to keep your integrity and protect your family…there are certain things that you can talk about and certain things you shouldn’t talk about.
