The doors between the old man today and the child are still open, wide open. I can stroll through my grandmother's house and know exactly where the pictures are, the furniture was, how it looked, the voice, the smells. I can move from my bed at night today to my childhood in less than a second.
— Ingmar Bergman
I hate to travel. I don't go anywhere.
Film as dream, film as music. No art passes our conscience in the way film does, and goes directly to our feelings, deep down into the dark rooms of our souls.
For me, the human face is the most important subject of the cinema.
I am autobiographical in the way a dream transforms experience and emotions all the time.
I always work with 18 friends.
I write scripts to serve as skeletons awaiting the flesh and sinew of images.
I am very shy with people I don't know.
Everything is worth precisely as much as a belch, the difference being that a belch is more satisfying.
I hope I never get so old I get religious.
