Both my mom and my dad have always included me in intelligent conversations about people, about characters, about how people work. My dad and my mom still read all scripts that I find interesting. I send them an e-mail, and I'm like, 'Okay, I have my eye on this,' or whatever.

Being able to be dry in a second language is almost the last thing you learn.

Three trans women came up to me separately to tell me they had felt such a connection with Ava in 'Ex Machina' and her dream of finally coming to full female fruition. They had all cried; one said she was very emotional during the scene where Ava finally puts her skin on for the first time.

I'm a real Swede! In fact, I'm a quarter Finnish.

I push myself hard. I don't like pain, exactly, but as a ballerina, I lived in constant pain. At ballet school in Stockholm, I remember we had a locker where if someone had been to the doctor and gotten painkillers, we divided them among us. In a sense, we were all addicted.
Alicia Vikander -
I love to see how far you're able to go, both in skills but also emotionally how far I can push myself.
Alicia Vikander -
I had tried out for theatre school and didn't get it four times.

In any relationship, when you go through any big change, you struggle to find your new constellation, your new ground. It takes a while to determine what the new relationship between you is.

That is the thing I want to tell girls, to stop criticising yourselves and to stop comparing yourself to other people.

I love skincare. If anything, my skin goes extremely dry. I could put hand cream on my face, and it still goes in. On flights, I always put on masks, and I have night cream as my day cream.
Alicia Vikander -
I like not knowing about my favourite actresses and actors. I love seeing Meryl Streep up there and knowing so little about who she is outside of what she's playing on screen.
Alicia Vikander -
My Mother is an actress, so it's always been a part of my life.

I endured quite a few injuries when I was younger and had my first surgery on my foot when I was 15. But I love dancing. 'Anna Karenina' was great for me as it meant I could combine the two and I actually went back and did some classes.
Alicia Vikander -
I still love to see the ballet. And I love to boogie.

We all body shame and compare bodies, and that needs to go out of the window.

Jewellery is a way of making a very simple outfit something you can wear to go out.
Alicia Vikander -
People always think I'm not scared. I've noticed that whenever I feel stressed, everyone thinks I'm fine, and later, it's like, 'I was not fine.'
Alicia Vikander -
All the parts I've enjoyed playing the most I didn't know about until they appeared, or it was something I read and fell in love with.
Alicia Vikander -
Working makes me happy, makes me calm.
Alicia Vikander -
I love crosswords! Actually, when I was growing up, me and my girlfriends would collect them and see who finished them first!

This worldwide spread of recognition is insane. I was brought up in a small country. If you made a Swedish film that just got into a film festival somewhere, that was like the biggest thing you could wish for.
Alicia Vikander -
My dad has children by four different mothers.
Alicia Vikander -
Helena Bonham Carter was one of my biggest crushes. And Rachel Weisz. I think I told her that when we were filming, which was probably a bit embarrassing.

For events, I do use make-up, but normally I don't. I might use a bit of eyebrow pencil and a lipstick but nothing else.
