I looked into the mirror and saw this middle-aged woman who keeps invading my face.

Ibsen was Norwegian by birth, but universal in spirit.

August Strindberg gave me the opportunity to have this incredible story [Miss Julie ], about the class system, about unfairness in life, but also this story about man and woman. What I wanted, because he gave me the freedom, to give her a voice that I missed a little in her.

Nothing ever comes to an end. Wherever one has sunk roots that emanate from one's best or truest self, one will always find a home.

Sometimes I get a little tired of it. But you know, what a privilege, to get tired of working with Ingmar Bergman.

Oh, those wonder-filled evenings when acting enables me for a short moment to have more life.

I just think that sometimes it is less hard to wake up feeling lonely when you are alone than to wake up feeling lonely when you are with someone else. Some people would be better off alone, but they feel they've got to get hold of someone to prove they're worthwhile.
