I know, of course, that by using film we can bring in other previously unknown worlds, realities beyond reality.

The theater is like a faithful wife. The film is the great adventure - the costly, exacting mistress.

My basic view of things is - not to have any basic view of things. From having been exceedingly dogmatic, my views on life have gradually dissolved. They don't exist any longer.

One has to manage alone as best one can. (Karin Bergman)

Only someone who is well prepared has the opportunity to improvise.

Sometimes I go for days without speaking to a soul. I think, “I should make that call", but I put it off. Because there’s something pleasurable about not talking. But then I love talking, so it’s not that. But sometimes it can be nice. It’s not like I sit here philosophizing, because I’ve no talent for that. It’s just this thing about silence that’s so wonderful.

To humiliate and be humiliated, I think, is a crucial element in our whole social structure. It's not only the artist I'm sorry for. It's just that I know exactly where he feels most humiliated.
