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

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.

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.

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

Ingmar Bergman 68 quotes

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.

I was bloody ill-tempered when I was young.

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.

Ingmar Bergman 68 quotes

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

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

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.

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

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 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

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

Life wasn't about freeing up ...

Life wasn't about freeing up human souls. It was about creating obedient slaves in the hierarchical construction of the society - with God at the top, then the king and then the father.

Ingmar Bergman 68 quotes

There is no art form that has so much in common with film as music. Both affect our emotions directly, not via the intellect.

Ingmar Bergman 68 quotes

My discovery of Tarkovsky's first film was like a miracle. Suddenly, I found myself standing at the door of a room the keys of which had, until then, never been given to me. It was a room I had always wanted to enter and where he was moving freely and fully at ease.

Ingmar Bergman 68 quotes

All of us collect fortunes when we are children. A fortune of colors, of lights, and darkness, of movement, of tensions. Some of us have the fantastic chance to go back to his fortune when grown up.

Ingmar Bergman 68 quotes

The demons are innumerable, arrive at the most inappropriate times and create panic and terror. But I have learned that if I can master the negative forces and harness them to my chariot, then they can work to my advantage. Lilies often grow out of carcasses' arseholes.

Ingmar Bergman 68 quotes

No form of art goes beyond or...

No form of art goes beyond ordinary consciousness as film does, straight to our emotions, deep into the twilight room of the soul.
