On Straw Dogs: “I think it’s fuckin’ sad,” he says.  ”Because Charlie thinks this is not rape.  He thinks she wants this: ‘She belongs with me — this is it, here we are, together forever.’ And that look between them where she’s like, Get off me…It kills him.” Ultimately, though, the lesson he took from the role was “how crazy love can make you.”  He says, “I don’t fall often, but I fall hard. And when you fall hard, it takes a while to get up.” — Alexander Skarsgard (Men’s Journal (Oct. 2011), Scans:  StoreMags.com)
