He likes fair play, disdainfully stating that it's not so strange that a diver should dive better than a cop after outmatching a number of police officers in a diving contest.He has a particular talent for sharpshooting, which works as meditation for him: No matter how chaotic his emotional or physical situation, he becomes calm when aiming a gun, blanking out everything except the line between eye, sight and target.

He rejected his family values and became involved in leftist activity. In the 1970s he was active in pro-Palestine movements and in a Swedish Maoist organisation called Clart Show less «
