Choice is the essence of what I believe it is to be human.

I think of all the choices I never knew. And those I let be made for me - to please, from fear, for love. Where did they disappear to, those choices that I never made? They are all part of who I am. They are the legacy I leave behind, they are the finished portrait of myself I cannot change.

The fear inside of loneliness: That only what others have is real.

Nobody is one block of harmony. We are all afraid of something, or feel limited in something. We all need somebody to talk to. It would be good if we talked to each other, not just pitter patter but real talk. We shouldn't be afraid, because most people really like this contact; that you show you are vulnerable makes them free to be vulnerable too. It's so much easier to be together when we drop our masks.

Film is wonderful as opposed to theater, because it will always live there, and they will always be seen.

I believe we come to earth with sealed orders. I believe that only those who lack passion look down on purpose.

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