Ingmar Bergman's quotes

The theater is like a faithful wife. The film is the great adventure - the costly, exacting mistress.
No form of art goes beyond ordinary consciousness as film does, straight to our emotions, deep into the twilight room of the soul.
I hope I never get old so I get religious.
In a quarrel with one of my sons, I said, "I know I've been a lousy father". He said, "A father? You haven't been a father at all!"
I write scripts to serve as skeletons awaiting the flesh and sinew of images.
I think I have made just one picture that I really like, and that is Winter Light (1963). Everything is exactly as I wanted to have it, in every second of this picture.
Film as dream, film as music. No art passes our conscience in the way film does, and goes directly to our feelings, deep down into the dark rooms of our souls.
Everything is worth precisely as much as a belch, the difference being that a belch is more satisfying.
My basic view of things is - not to have any basic view of things. From having been exceedingly dogmatic, my views on life have gradually dissolved. They don't exist any longer.
When I was young, I was extremely scared of dying. But now I think it a very, very wise arrangement. It's like a light that is extinguished. Not very much to make a fuss about.
I'd prostitute my talents if it would further my cause, steal if there was no way out, killing my friends or anyone else if it would help my art.
New cities arouse too many sensations in me. They give me too many impressions to experience at the same time. They all crowd in on me. Being in a new city overwhelms me, unsettles me.
To shoot a film is to organize an entire universe.
[on Akira Kurosawa] Now I want to make it plain that The Virgin Spring (1960) must be regarded as an aberration. It's touristic, a lousy imitation of Kurosawa.
Fellini, Kurosawa and BuÃ±uel move in the same fields as Tarkovsky. Antonioni was on his way, but expired, suffocated by his own tediousness.
Working in this medium and being a man of the theater, I'm like the common whore. I have an enormous need for people to like me and what I'm doing. That it be accepted and praised and so forth. It's always painful to be disapproved of.
Directing is more fun with women. Everything is.
My professor told me when I started in the '40s that a director should listen and keep his mouth shut. Took me a long time to understand I talked too much. Now I know you should listen with your ears - and your heart.
[the last thing he said to actor Peter Stormare] Time and space separates us. But our souls are connected.
