Stefán Karl Stefánsson's Quotes
- Robbie [Rotten] was a product of many years of thinking and doing. What you see in the TV show is different from his first personality. One of the big challenges playing a part like Robbie is bringing the right kind of energy. You don't want to scare the littlest viewers but you have to bring a certain villain personality with humor.
- There is no difference in preparing for Robbie Rotten or any classical serious role.... Every part you prepare for you have to be honest and truthful and wholly believe that the character exists - otherwise no one will accept your acting. Kids are a demanding audience and they KNOW when something is untruthful.
- As many actors have said before me, being famous or well known can be nice or it can be a burden, it all depends on how you look at it. I love my fans - they have come along on this ride with me and have said too many nice things for me to ever count. I am grateful.
- As an actor in Iceland, I found good training and colleagues in the National Theatre, and none of us could have predicted the kind of fame that LazyTown found globally. When you are an actor or do anything in the arts for a career, your life will take many unexpected twists and turns.
