I see myself as most people see themselves, you have good days and bad days. I don’t think I’m better looking now than I did three years ago. – Bill Skarsgard
A character on screen that’s the ‘good guy’ or the ‘bad guy,’ they’re never interesting. There’s got to be an internal struggle, the duality is important to find. – Bill Skarsgard
Acting was always there, it’s true. But for a long time, in my teenage years, I wasn’t sure about it – not because I didn’t like it, but I didn’t want people to think I hadn’t earned it. – Bill Skarsgard
Sweden is a small country and, well, our family’s pretty prominent in that world, I guess. And I really didn’t like the sound of just being ‘the fourth acting Skarsgard.’ – Bill Skarsgard
In terms of jobs, I’m an actor. There’s gotta’ be depth there. I’d never say yes to something just to play the hot guy. That’s not what I’m interested in. – Bill Skarsgard
I worked with Lady Gaga for a day on a video shoot. It was crazy; we had a lot of fun. I had a great time. – Bill Skarsgard
I’m always looking for something that’s real and that’s got meat on it. I think it’s artistic suicide if you’re too vain, or if you’re afraid to play ugly. I would never fall for that. – Bill Skarsgard
There’s something I love about how stark the contrast is between January and June in Sweden. – Bill Skarsgard
I can deal with it now, but 13 is a tough age to be recognized and famous. It’s a tough age, period. – Bill Skarsgard
When I read a script and have my first interaction with this character, do I feel like there’s something I’m gonna’ learn here? If I feel like it’s something I’ve done before, then what’s the incentive for me to do it? – Bill Skarsgard
I have three older brothers, and each one of them has chosen one of my parents’ education. Two of them are actors, and the third is a doctor as my mother is. – Bill Skarsgard
I come from a family of pacifists, so it’s not like I was going to join the war. Sweden is not like the States or England where you might get sent to Afghanistan next month. – Bill Skarsgard
My height can be a problem. A lot of directors and photographers are sometimes not happy because I’m pretty tall and especially if I work with short actors the difference can be pretty massive. – Bill Skarsgard
