If you're a great documentary filmmaker, it doesn't necessarily mean that you're a great narrative filmmaker. there are fantastic documentary filmmakers that can't direct actors. you don't have to do that in a documentary, if it's a real documentary.

More From Alexander Skarsgard

I think filmmakers, in general... there are some awesome, really great filmmakers - but on the whole, filmmakers, actors, i think they are the biggest bunch of whiny, over-paid babies on the planet.
Baby Thinking Actors
Just because you’ve only been alive for fifteen years doesn’t mean you’re less anything except old. that’s all it means. it doesn’t mean you’re less experienced. it doesn’t mean you’re less intelligent. it doesn’t mean you’re less sensitive. it doesn’t mean you take things less seriously. it’s like, these are younger human beings, meaning don’t, because they’re only ten, start thinking that they don’t know what you’re talking about -because they do. don’t leave people out in the cold, and don’t talk down to people -don’t. it never works out.

When you say documentary, you have to have a sophisticated ear to receive that word. it should be documentary style, because documentary is police photography of a scene and a murder ... that's a real document. you see, art is really useless, and a document has use. and therefore, art is never a document, but it can adopt that style. i do it. i'm called a documentary photographer. but that presupposes a quite subtle knowledge of this distinction.

I've never seen myself as a documentary filmmaker. i see myself as a filmmaker, period, and i am interested in drama as well as in documentary.

I never intended to be a documentary filmmaker. i think i became a documentary filmmaker because i had trouble writing, and i had trouble finishing things.

I like to work with artists from around the world. there are so many new inspiring filmmakers. i had the privilege recently to work with ethiopian filmmaker zeresenay mehari and his wife on the film difret. they are that unique balance of very thoughtful conscious filmmakers who are also brilliant, original artists.

It is human nature to want to exchange ideas, and i believe that, at bottom, every artist wants no more than to tell the world what he has to say.

That artists are called to be more responsible and 'true' is a tip of hat to their power.

I'm an artist, and i go in the studio and make my music. and then i'll give it to my dad and he does what he does. and he does, you know, the press, and figuring out shows and whatnot. when it comes to my artistic freedom, he doesn't, like, step on my toes or anything.
Dad Artist Giving
I think whatever an artist does, it just has to be quality and good. i think the way kanye's doing what he's doing with the auto-tune is actually creative because he just writes good melodies. he just writes good songs. he's just gifted.
