There is a difference between film and digital. Because digital, you know, it's perfect and whatever. But with film, you get depth. You get subject.

What I have always loved most in men is imperfection. I get moved by the wrinkles on the throat of a man. It makes me love him more. I think it is sad that more women don't take the chance that maybe men will be moved by seeing the chin a little less firm than it used to be, that a man will be more in love with his wife because he remembers who she was and sees who she is and thinks, God, isn't that lovely that this happened to her. And be moved by life telling its story there.

We are different. We are equal in every way but our voices are important to each other and our need to want to listen to each other and try to understand, because sometimes we are so difficult to understand. Men to understand us, and we to understand men. And we don't. We don't connect the way we should.

I'm maybe not so much an exception, maybe because I've lived so long that more is coming, more is there.

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

Books have always been living things to me. Some of my encounters with new authors have changed my life a little. When I have been perplexed, looking for something I could not define to myself, a certain book has turned up, approached me as a friend would. And between it's cover carried the questions and the answers I was looking for.

The Summer Book is beautiful and warm, with the kind of wisdom we can adapt to our everyday lives.
