More quotes by Ingmar Bergman
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.' .
Ingmar Bergman
This damned ranting about doom. Is that food for the minds of modern people? Do they really expect us to take them seriously?
Ingmar Bergman
A film causes me so many worries and such a lot of reactions that I have to love it in order to get over it and past it.
Ingmar Bergman
Self-portraiture is something one should never get involved in, since it is wrong to lie even though one endeavours to tell the truth.
Ingmar Bergman
I have always had the ability to attach my demons to my chariot.
Ingmar Bergman
I am conscious about myself and everything, and then suddenly, or slowly, my conscious fades out. Switches off. And it's not existing, and that's a marvelous feeling. That from existing, I am not existing. And at that moment, nothing can happen to me.
Ingmar Bergman
I'm planning, you see, to try to confine myself to the truth. That's hard for an old, inveterate fantasy martyr and liar who has never hesitated to give truth the form he felt the occasion demanded.
Ingmar Bergman
People ask what are my intentions with my films - my aims. It is a difficult and dangerous question, and I usually give an evasive answer.
Ingmar Bergman
First, I write down all I know about the story, at length and in detail. Then I sink the iceberg and let some of it float up just a little.
Ingmar Bergman
I know, of course, that by using film we can bring in other previously unknown worlds, realities beyond reality.
Ingmar Bergman
We make each other alive it doesn’t make a difference if it hurts.
Ingmar Bergman
Occasionally I sense an insane wail deep down in the pit, the echo alone reaching me, striking without warning, a child weeping uninhibitedly, imprisoned forever.
Ingmar Bergman
Here, in my solitude, I have the feeling that I contain too much humanity.
Ingmar Bergman
To humiliate and be humiliated, I think, is a crucial element in our whole social structure. It's not only the artist I'm sorry for. It's just that I know exactly where he feels most humiliated.
Ingmar Bergman
Death: Do you never stop questioning? Antonius Block: No. I never stop.
Ingmar Bergman
Fellini, Kurosawa, and Bunuel move in the same field as Tarkovsky. Antonioni was on his way, but expired, suffocated by his own tediousness.
Ingmar Bergman
It's a strange thing that every human being has a sort of dignity or wholeness in him, and out of that develops relationships to other human beings, tensions, misunderstandings, tenderness, coming in contact, touching and being touched, the cutting off of a contact and what happens then.
Ingmar Bergman
Only someone who is well prepared has the opportunity to improvise.
Ingmar Bergman
I am living permanently in my dream, from which I make brief forays into reality.
Ingmar Bergman
To shoot a film is to organize an entire universe.
