I want a happy life.

I've come to learn that the choices I labor over and go back and forth about and ask a million people for their opinions and make lists about... those are always the wrong choices.

I'm Norwegian.

I just came in this morning with one goal; to make it back tonight, so I’m very excited for the final.

Every movie I make I find kind of excruciating. I get a lot back from it, but I feel like I’m kind of always working at the edge of my ability. I guess that’s what I’m looking for when I go to work. I am trying to become the edge.

Listen, I’ve always been very headstrong.

I don’t think things through very often – I don’t project into the future about how a situation will turn out.

For this relay there was a little more pressure because it’s the 200, you have to make sure you swim it smart. The 100 was more about energy.

Whatever education I got was from experience and reading. But I also realize I wouldn’t pass my friend’s sixth-grade class.

I’m not making any bets on the future.
