Sometimes you have to trust your guts and your instinct and improvise a little.

Peter Stormare 15 quotes

I dislike those people that s...

I dislike those people that see an opera and say "Oh, they can't act it. They just sing. It's boring." Lean back and just listen to the voices.

Peter Stormare 15 quotes

When you introduce a characte...

When you introduce a character and show him for the first time, don't show him fully lit. Don't show him one hundred percent to the audience. Show maybe fifty percent or sixty percent so the audience can fill in the dark spots.

Peter Stormare 15 quotes

There are some movies that I remember a couple of seconds and I want to carry those couple of seconds in my heart forever, or wherever it is, and that's worth it.

Peter Stormare 15 quotes

If you do a character, always...

If you do a character, always make the character with a big question mark. Even if the character is very enigmatic and all over the place, make him always with a question mark, because if you turn a question mark upside down, like they do in South America in Spanish, then it becomes a hook.

Peter Stormare 15 quotes

I've been very lucky and fort...

I've been very lucky and fortunate to meet people that are very inspirational in their spirits, too, and not just as filmmakers - in their personal life. I mean, Steven Spielberg is very inspirational just to sit down and talk for an hour, like Ingmar Bergman was. They know so much about life and, you know, movie-making, so it's just wonderful to be around those people.

I think in the modern world w...

I think in the modern world we really need to have movie theaters or places we can go in and rejuvenate ourselves. I think we'll have less problems with our souls and our health. I do that in my life, and I feel healthy and happy. I need those hours in the darkness where I used to spend time as a kid, sitting in a little closet in the darkness, listening to AM radio, having glowing paint that I illuminated, just sitting there, dreaming about anything, not being disturbed for an hour or two, just alone in the dark. I'm still that little boy in my brain.

If I had the money, I would l...

If I had the money, I would love to open up a movie theater that just played images and colors and beautiful music. For me, there's nothing like listening to a beautiful opera sometimes - on a record or seeing it live - just to be sleepy and let those beautiful voices take me somewhere I've never been before.

Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis, they make bad movie after bad movie.

How brittle life is, yet it's...

How brittle life is, yet it's been going on for thousands and thousands of years. Maybe we should sit down and pay tribute to life instead of just destruction.

Peter Stormare 15 quotes

My mentor, [Ingmar] Bergman, ...

My mentor, [Ingmar] Bergman, when we worked on stage, he said you can't convince a thousand people at the big stage where we were working. You can't convince everybody, but just pick one every night that you perform for and make sure that he or she will have an experience that alters their life in a more positive way. So, just one every night. That's worth all the struggle and screaming.

I love to fantasize still, as I did as a little boy. If I see a movie, I want to fantasize about what it's all about.

Peter Stormare 15 quotes

If I ran for president, the first thing I'd do is legalize everyone who's been here paying taxes, working, paying taxes. Mothers and fathers of kids born in the U.S. should get a green card.

Peter Stormare 15 quotes

People who are registered to ...

People who are registered to vote should vote. I vote all the time. If I'm not in the country, I do it over mail. Sometimes I don't know who the people are - I just pick whatever girl is Democratic.

Peter Stormare 15 quotes

With my characters, I prefer to not say too much, and in fact, I tend to cut down some of the lines in most scripts I get.

I drive one car. I own one house. That's enough for me.

I don't personally like slasher movies that make you scream in the movie theater.

Since I started, like, 200 years ago, I've always wanted to direct and write. But I've been so busy - and fortunate and lucky - as an actor.

I don't ever want to have a job where I just punch a clock.

I was brought up telling stories, when I was a kid, in the tiny village where I grew up. Storytelling was a tradition.
