Ingmar Bergman Quotes

 

• Everything is worth precisely as much as a belch, the difference being that a belch is more satisfying.

• 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.

• I hope I never get so old I get religious.

• I write scripts to serve as skeletons awaiting the flesh and sinew of images.

• Theater is the beginning and end and actually everything, while cinema belongs to the whoring and slaughterhouse trade.

• We worked on 'Fanny and Alexander' for seven months and it was an amusing production. Still, it was very long and heavy and so awfully complicated, ... And when the premiere was over and everything went well, I thought, 'That's that.'

• I hope I never get so old I get religious.

• Old age is like climbing a mountain. You climb from ledge to ledge. The higher you get, the more tired and breathless you become, but your views become more extensive.

• Time is shortening. But every day that I challenge this cancer and survive is a victory for me.

• We walk in circles, so limited by our own anxieties that we can no longer distinguish between true and false, between the gangster's whim and the purest ideal.
