I Was Very Sickly As A Kid

I Think Mortality Makes You Live A Fuller Existence. When I Was A Kid I Was Scared Of Death, And Maybe That's What Made Me Desperate To Get The Most Out Of Life.

First The Movie, The Actual Playing Of The Role And Trying To Deliver What Everybody Wanted. Then, When The Film Came Out, There Was Instant Fame. I Was Just A Kid From Sweden, I Didn't Know What Was Going On.

I Prefer To Channel My Problems And Inner Demons Through A Character. Another Persona. That Protects Me And My Family. I Can Get My Frustrations Out That Way.

Working With Jean-claude Is A Lot Of Fun. Because He's A Great Actor Who Also Happens To Be A Fighter. That Combination Doesn't Usually Come Together Anymore. Usually, You Have To Fight The Stunt Double And Then Act Against The Actor. In His Case, You Are Fighting With A Real Guy. It Takes A Minute To Get Used To That. Because It Doesn't Happen Any More.

I Think The Energy I Give Off Is Quite Non-confrontational. That's Something You Learn From Karate. Once You Try To Be A Tough Guy, You've Got To Pay Up. You've Got To Prove Yourself. And That's Exhausting.
