A Quote by Erland Josephson
I very often get that question: 'What is your real profession?' That's because in Sweden, it is 'not allowed' to have more than one profession - there's something suspicious about it! But nowadays it's more accepted that one can do a lot of things.

Writing is not a great profession as a lot of writers proclaim. I write because this is something I can do.

And I finally, after years and years and years, got lucky.
