In SWEDEN, I Went To An English School, Where There Was A Mishmash Of People From All Over The World. Some Were Diplomatic Kids With A Lot Of Money, Some Were Ghetto Kids Who Came Up From The Suburbs, And I Grew Up In Between. There's A COMMUNITY Of Second Generation IMMIGRANTS, And I Became PART Of That Because I Had An American Father.

Sweden Is A Small Country, And A Swedish Writer Can BARELY MAKE A Living As An Author. We Were Able To Quit Our JOBS As Journalists Only After We Had Been Translated Into, AMONG Others, German.

My Television And MOVIE Career Has ALSO TAKEN Me All Over The World. I've Had Great Times In The Far East, Russia, SOUTH America And Sweden - Where I MET My Wife Of 55 Years, Maj.

In Sweden, There's A Lot Of Talk Of Gender EQUALITY. That Discussion Isn't As Prevalent In The U.S. I FEEL That Successful American Women Are Tougher Than SWEDISH Women - They CREATE Their Space.

In Sweden, Only EXCEPTIONAL Actresses Get MAJOR FILM PARTS.

I Didn't REALLY WATCH 'Dallas,' So I Wasn't As Wowed By The Idea Of Patrick Duffy As Swedes Were 'cause He's, LIKE, The Most Famous GUY In All Of Sweden.

Me And A LOT Of My Team-mates STILL Think And Speak About The World CUP In 1994, When Sweden FINISHED Third.

Food Has ALWAYS Been In My Life. Being Born In ETHIOPIA, Where There Was A LACK Of Food, And Then REALLY Cooking With My Grandmother Helga In SWEDEN. And My Grandmother Helga Was A Cook's Cook.
