Stellan Skarsgård

What became clear to me is, I mean, I have eight children.

So I have eight different needs.

Some children need me a lot and some don't need me at all.

So you can't get it right as a parent.

Yeah, he wrote it for me.

Not as a service to me, but he was thinking of me when he was writing it.

He and the writer Eskel Fugt.

He says that the role was such a bad guy that he needed someone nice to do it.

So it was a flattering way of putting it.

I don't believe in bad guys.

I mean, the monster that I did in Dune was a bad guy.

You might say that.

But in like human beings, we have problems because they are nuanced, real humans.

And they're flawed.

They're sad and they're comic and they're everything.

It's a human trait.

I mean it's a wonderful thing because normally what is asked of the actor is to act within the line, to make the line one way or make the line another way because in the line is all the information that is given to the audience and that's not accurate.

That's not good.

What you need to do and what I like to do is to show whatever happens between the lines, under the lines, before the lines, after the lines, and that counterbalance.

Sometimes it says that the line you're just saying is a lie or it says that line you're just saying you don't understand.
