Ibsen was Norwegian by birth, but universal in spirit.

The best thing that can come with success is the knowledge that it is nothing to long for.

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

Colin [Farrell] I talked to several times on the phone, and I said, remember, we have only twenty-five days of doing the movie [Miss Julie], so you must know some of your text. I was a little un-feminist, I didn't want to say [bossy voice] "learn your text!" But when he came, he knew all his text.

I do not want to arrive at the end of life and then be asked what I made of it and have to answer: 'I acted.' I want to be able to say: 'I loved and I was mystified. It was a joy sometimes, and I knew grief. And I would like to do it all again.'

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

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