When asked about being considered as the leading man in "Fifty Shades of Grey" Skarsgard said, "Step one is always reading the material… before you've done that you can't say if you're excited or not. I haven't read the books. All I know is that they are very popular, obviously."

Skarsgard was joined at the event by "Tron" actress Olivia Wilde, who discussed her "sardonic stripper with a heart of gold” character in the new movie, "Butter."

When asked why women are drawn to Calvin Klein, Wilde said, "It's fun to wear, timeless and lets women be beautiful naturally."

Would have been nice if you had put the interview in it's entirety without cutting it up to suit your purposes here is the part of the interview in question.

I mean as to whether I’m interested or not, step one is read the script and figure out if this character is someone I’d want to explore or not. At this point I don’t even know if there is a script.

Skarsgård: Maybe I should read those books because people love them.

Now that is what was said. Not the chopped up version printed in this article.
