A kiss is the natures way to stop a conversation, when the words are superfluous

I've never sought success in order to get fame and money; it's the talent and the passion that count in success.

I made so many films which were more important, but the only one people ever want to talk about is that one with [Humphrey Bogart].

Until 45 I can play a woman in love. After 55 I can play grandmothers. But between those ten years, it is difficult for an actress.

I said, "I don't think I can give you that kind of emotion." And he [Hitchcock] sat there and said, "Ingrid, fake it!" Well, that was the best advice I've had in my whole life, because in all the years to come there were many directors who gave me what I thought were quite impossible instructions and many difficult things to do, and just when I was on the verge of starting to argue with them, I heard his voice coming to me through the air saying, "Ingrid, fake it!" It saved a lot of unpleasant situations and waste of time.

The theater was my mother and my father.
