“When we were shooting in Shreveport, me and a couple of friends went down to Laf…” — Alexander Skarsgard

I spent a summer in Texas when I was eight, in Fredericksburg, which is, like, real Texas. It's, like, cowboys and stuff. That was my first time in the States, and I was eight years old. It was also the first time I tasted Dr. Pepper, which blew my mind.

I don't like those artificial air fresheners. They just smell so fake. It's too much.

I've been a member of Greenpeace since I was a teenager.

I'm always going with my visceral reaction when I read a script. I am more drawn to characters who are conflicted, and in developing a character exploration. If it's a baddie, I'm rarely intrigued, and if it's a goody two-shoes - too much of a good guy - I'm not, either.
