The film medium is some sort of magic. I think also it's a magic that every frame comes and stands still for a fraction of a second and then it darkens. A half part of the time when you see a picture you sit in complete darkness. Isn't that fascinating? That is magic.

Ingmar Bergman 68 quotes

If I didn't have my professio...

If I didn't have my profession, I think I would be sitting in a nuthouse. But I have been unceasingly at work, and this has been very healthy for me. So I had no need for therapy.

Ingmar Bergman 68 quotes

I have a feeling of complete ...

I have a feeling of complete balance. The sea, the house, the loneliness, the light. Everything is clearer. Much more precise. I have the feeling that I am living on a limit, and I'm crossing that limit sometimes.

Ingmar Bergman 68 quotes

I am extremely suspicious of ...

I am extremely suspicious of dreams, apparitions and visions, both in literature and in films and plays. Perhaps it's because mental excesses of this sort smack too much of being 'arranged.'

Ingmar Bergman 68 quotes

I had a bad conscience until ...

I had a bad conscience until I discovered that having a bad conscience about something so gravely serious as leaving your children is an affectation, a way of achieving a little suffering that can't for a moment be equal to the suffering you've caused.

Ingmar Bergman 68 quotes

When we came out from the Ely...

When we came out from the Elysee palace, there was a gigantic limousine waiting for us and four police on motorcycles. It is probably one of the few times I have experienced my fame. I thought it was so fantastic that I laughed to the point of shouting.

I don't watch my own films very often. I become so jittery and ready to cry... and miserable. I think it's awful.

I have such difficulty calming down - my stomach, my head, reality, everything. That is the reason I live in Faro.

Ingmar Bergman 68 quotes

The smallest wound or pain of...

The smallest wound or pain of the ego is examined under a microscope as if it were of eternal importance. The artist considers his isolation, his subjectivity, his individualism almost holy.

I was bloody ill-tempered when I was young.

Ingmar Bergman 68 quotes

When I was young, I was extre...

When I was young, I was extremely scared of dying. But now I think it a very, very wise arrangement. It's like a light that is extinguished. Not very much to make a fuss about.

Ingmar Bergman 68 quotes

We always regret that we did ...

We always regret that we did not ask our parents more, really get to know them while they were alive.

Ingmar Bergman 68 quotes

I throw a spear into the dark...

I throw a spear into the darkness. That is intuition. Then I must send an army into the darkness to find the spear. That is intellect.

I hate to travel. I don't go anywhere.

Ingmar Bergman 68 quotes

Writing is boring, very boring, and it takes so much patience.

Ingmar Bergman 68 quotes

I was very much in love with ...

I was very much in love with my mother. She was a very warm and a very cold woman. When she was warm, I tried to come close to her. But she could be very cold and rejecting.

Ingmar Bergman 68 quotes

Now I want to make it plain that 'The Virgin Spring' must be regarded as an aberration. It's touristic, a lousy imitation of Kurosawa.

Ingmar Bergman 68 quotes

The doors between the old man...

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 68 quotes

On a personal level, there are many people who have meant a great deal to me. My father and mother were certainly of vital importance, not only in themselves but because they created a world for me to revolt against.

I was booed at the premiere of 'Miss Julie,' a remarkably stimulating experience.
