“You’re worth more than flaky friends and people who dismiss you. Sometimes it seems like that’s all you get, but it’s not all you’ll ever get.”
I really needed to hear it tonight and I'm really grateful to have her in my life. This really helped me and I hope it helps everyone else.
1. What's the last book you read?
The Illuminated Rumi by Coleman Barks.
2. What's the last thing you googled?
The last thing I googled was myself. That's not even true but it sounds good! The last thing I googled actually was Pinterest. I wanted to see pictures of the universe and there's a lot of cool boards on Pinterest where there's great pictures from the Hubble Space Telescope and stuff. I'm a nerd.
3. What's your favorite thing to do on a Friday night?
Just get together with friends, chill, go out, have some adult beverages, relax.
Macey J. Foronda and Jenna Williams for BuzzFeed
4. What's your biggest pet peeve?
Unkindness.
5. What do you do when someone is unkind? Do you call them out?
I don't know if I necessarily call them out. I guess I just make a mental note: Oh, I know who I'm dealing with.
6. What's your go-to karaoke song?
I've never done karaoke. I'm not big on singing anywhere other than the shower.
7. What's your favorite drink?
That's a tough one. I like an old fashioned Arnold Palmer. It's refreshing.
8. Dogs or cats?
I gotta go with dogs. I mean I love dogs and cats, and I've had both, but right now I'm about a hair's breadth away from adopting a frenchie.
9. What are you going to name it?
I don't know, I'm gonna let the dog name itself according to its personality. But in my head, I've had an English bulldog named Banksy one of those so ugly that they're cute. I don't know if that will translate to the French bulldog species but we shall see.
10. FBI or DEA?
DEA — they probably have more fun.
11. Dating in the workplace: Yay or nay? Especially when you're both agents.
Nay. Dating in the workplace for me is a huge nay. I've had a personal rule about no romantic involvements with people that I work closely with ever since I was in grad school at NYU. Just always seemed like a bad idea — if it goes south, it affects the entire environment.
12. What would be the most difficult part about being an undercover agent?
Keeping all of your lies straight and knowing that if you weren't able to, the consequences would be disastrous. The fallout for a bad performance as an undercover narcotics agent is probably death if the person you're dealing with doesn't believe you. For me, it's like a bad review — and I've had plenty of those so I'm good.
13. What would be the coolest part about being an undercover agent?
Probably the awe and the fascination people who happen to know that's what you do would have with your job. Like, "Oh my god so what's it like to be a spy?" That would be kind of cool, you could make up all kinds of stories and they would just have to believe you.
14. Which character on Graceland would you be most afraid of IRL?
I guess my character, Paul Briggs, 'cause out of all the characters on the show, he has proven that he travels far to the left and far to the right of the mean of moral ambiguity. The tightrope walk, he dances on both sides of it, and has done some pretty dark things.
Macey J. Foronda and Jenna Williams for BuzzFeed
15. Which actor on Graceland would make the best spy IRL?
I'm gonna have to go with Vanessa Ferlito — I think she'd be the best real life spy. She's a bad chick, you don't wanna mess with V.
16. Which TV or movie spy would you want to be IRL?
I think it's about time for a biracial James Bond. Some biracial James Bond action wouldn't be so bad.
17. Are you nominating yourself?
I'm nominating myself. I don't look bad in a suit — why not?
18. What is Paul Briggs' theme song?
"Stones Start Spinning" by David Darling.
Macey J. Foronda and Jenna Williams for BuzzFeed
19. Do you think it would be harder to be tortured or to be the one torturing others?
I'm pretty sure it'd be harder to be tortured than to be the torturer though I can't imagine that either variables in that equation can walk away with all of their humanity intact.
20. Who would be a scarier boss, Miranda Priestly or Paul Briggs?
Miranda Priestly, I don't think Paul's a very scary boss.
21. Would you rather be an undercover agent, your life constantly on the line, living in the Graceland beach house or would you rather live in Elvis Presley's Graceland estate, but you can't leave for 10 years?
I'd rather be living in the Graceland of our show. I've actually heard that people have gone to see Elvis' Graceland it's really not that impressive. Ten years — you know you'd end up like Howard Hughes, going crazy.
Macey J. Foronda / Jenna Williams / BuzzFeed
You can watch Graceland Thursdays at 10 p.m. on USA.
Let Ed Helms, the star of Vacation, help you decide.
Ed Helms was styled by Jordan Long.
Depends.
David J. Bertozzi / BuzzFeed
Joel Edgerton has been acting for quite a while, but in the last few years his star has rapidly been on the rise. This year the actor made his directorial debut with The Gift, a film about the past and how the people you've hurt and things you've done can come back to haunt you. And while the film is dark, our interview wasn't. We decided to find out if Joel's the kind of guy to hold a grudge or let things go. It seems the actor is pretty chill about a lot of things.

We've all been in beautiful Alexander Skarsgård withdrawal since True Blood heartbreakingly came to an end, but things are finally starting to look up. He's commanding our attention once again in the Sundance hit The Diary of a Teenage Girl, the book-turned-movie that tells an honest and unapologetic coming-of-age story from a teenage girl's perspective — including her very complex affair with her mom's 35-year-old boyfriend, Monroe, played by Skarsgård.
We were lucky enough to have the Swedish star stop by BuzzFeed NY to chat about his experiences filming, including his very real thoughts about feminism and gender inequality in 2015. So if you thought you were already in love with him, prepare to reach peak Skarsgård obsession.
Alexander Skarsgård: I would say that the challenge of playing the role is what attracted me to the project. I thought it was a really amazing script and a very unique story, and it made me realize how few coming-of-age stories are told from a girl’s perspective in such an honest way. When it’s a coming-of-age story from a girl’s perspective, it’s often very moralizing or very prude in a way. And it was just real refreshing to read something where the teenage girl was actually as confused and weirded out by her own thoughts as teenagers are.
Jenna Williams / BuzzFeed
In terms of the role Monroe, it was a real challenge. I didn’t really know how to play him, and that really excited me because those are always the most fun projects, when you're drawn to a project and you love the script and you love the story and the character, but you have a lot of questions and you don’t have the answers. I realized it would be a challenge to try and play him in a way that’s not too predatory. To play a 35-year-old man having sex with his girlfriend’s 15-year-old daughter is definitely a challenge. I felt like if it’s too predatory, it won’t be interesting for an hour and 40 minutes, because then you just label him as a creep. You’d just be like, "Get away from him, it’s disgusting!" We wanted to make it more uncomfortable for the audience, more complex in a way. And make them confused a bit watching this relationship and maybe find moments where they actually like the guy, or at least understood him, or hope they would stay together — and then be weirded out by their own feelings that they felt that way. So I had a lot of questions in my head, and that got me excited.
AS: I was very honored that Mari sent me the script. It was really refreshing to read a script that felt original. Very often when you read a script it feels like a version of a movie that you've seen before — you're like, OK, this writer was clearly inspired by this. And it also made me sad in a way, because I was like, this is so great, how come there are so many adolescent stories from a boy’s perspective but when it comes to girls it’s so stigmatized and so prude?
Jenna Williams / BuzzFeed
And this just felt so brave and unapologetic in a way. Meeting Mari, the filmmaker, got me so excited because she’s so intelligent and so passionate. I just called my agent and said, "I don’t care what else is out there, I want to make this movie."
AS: I mean, it’s obviously a big problem. If you just look at the sheer numbers, in terms of how many female filmmakers there are out there, there are very few. But I’m optimistic. I think things are changing, and they have to change.
And the fact that we have filmmakers like Mari out there who’s so intelligent, so incredible, and speaks so eloquently about the issue that it’s difficult for people to continue to shy away from it, and kind of ignore it — she’s got a pretty bright flashlight in their eyes telling them, "You have to acknowledge this, this is a problem." And it’s not right, you know, we gotta do something about it.
AS: I don't know how to define the word, but I think gender equality shouldn’t be an issue. I think it’s insane it’s still a problem in 2015.
Jenna Williams / BuzzFeed
But again, I am optimistic and I think we’re moving in the right direction. I grew up in Sweden and I think that’s a good example of a country that’s pretty progressive when it comes to gender equality and equal rights.
AS: Even in those serious moments, we had a lot of fun on set. I was in a movie a couple years ago called Melancholia and it‘s about literally the end of the world, and it was one of the most fun sets I’ve ever been on. You kinda have to alleviate the tension in the way by having fun on set; it helps a lot. And obviously having Kristen, who’s one of the funniest people in the world, helped on set. She’s so good in the film. I think people will be surprised. People know her as obviously an amazing comedian, but it’s a really difficult part to play and she does it beautifully to find that balance — someone who’s so irresponsible and not a present mother, but at the same time you feel for this character. She does it beautifully.
Jenna Williams / BuzzFeed
AS: I don’t know, this was a dream to shoot a movie that takes place in 1976. Not only that, but it takes place in San Francisco, and we actually shot it in the streets of San Francisco. It really felt like we were back in 1976, because half the population there, they still think it’s 1976. So there’s a lot of interesting old people that live honestly as if it’s 1976. It helped when we were shooting to be surrounded by that energy and it really was a dream.
Jenna Williams / BuzzFeed
AS: Well, I don’t know if I have any profound advice. Being a teenager is so fucking weird and confusing for boys and girls, and even more alienating when you watch movies where you don’t feel represented, if you can’t relate to any of these characters.
Jenna Williams / BuzzFeed
We’re not saying what she does in the movie is right, it’s just a very personal story of someone going through these crazy experiences and coming of age and hopefully learning something. It’s a weird time, and it’s weird for everyone.
AS: Oh my god. Don’t get me started, yes. Everything from, like, the age of 13 to 37. I stopped being a teenager about three weeks ago.
Jenna Williams / BuzzFeed
AS: Well, Meekus dies in a gasoline fire, so that’s, not great. That’s a tough one actually. I would probably say Tarzan. Eric Northman has a lot of fun — he’s maybe less tormented than Tarzan — so it’s a toss up between the two.
