This is an interesting document, also on youtube. Alexandra at the Göteborg Film Festival 2008:

Agnes&Elin Forever recently pointed out that Alexandra is on record for saying that she's fed up with always being associated with Fucking Åmål. At first, that is hard to swallow for someone like me who loves that film so much.
I wish that more people around me would even
know about Fucking Åmål or would associate Alexandra with it! But after seeing this clip, I feel for her. You can see that she's so tired... imagine that you did something when you were really a kid (14 years old!!), and now you have grown up to be become a completely different person, but nobody wants to know who you are, all they care about is that former self of yours that you have left behind. Ten years after you're still asked to repeat the old lines to any sucker you don't know... It must feel to her like being one of those singers who had one huge hit in the seventies and who knows that at his concerts, nobody cares for the busloads of songs he has written since, they all just wait for him to play that one song to make them feel like in the old days.
Alex, please, what you need is a new hit, a new masterpiece. Go and knock them off their feet! Then you can make peace with the fact that you will forever be remembered for you contribution to a timeless classic.
