More quotes by Ingmar Bergman
One has to manage alone as best one can. (Karin Bergman)
Ingmar Bergman
I think I'm Swedish because I like to live here on this island. You can't imagine the loneliness and isolation in this country. In that way, I'm very Swedish - I don't dislike to be alone.
Ingmar Bergman
Today we say all art is political. But I'd say all art has to do with ethics. Which after all really comes to the same thing. It's a matter of attitudes.
Ingmar Bergman
To feel. To trust the feeling. I long for that
Ingmar Bergman
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.
Ingmar Bergman
Only someone who is well prepared has the opportunity to improvise.
Ingmar Bergman
I don't watch my own films very often. I become so jittery and ready to cry... and miserable. I think it's awful.
Ingmar Bergman
We make each other alive it doesn’t make a difference if it hurts.
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
I think I have made just one picture that I really like.
Ingmar Bergman
For me, in those days, the great question was: Does God exist? Or doesn't God exist? Can we, by an attitude of faith, attain to a sense of community and a better world? Or, if God doesn't exist, what do we do then? What does our world look like then? In none of this was there the least political colour.
Ingmar Bergman
I have a lot of tics and phobias. I hate to travel. I hate to go to festivals. I hate it when somebody gets close behind me. I'm scared of the darkness. I hate open doors.
Ingmar Bergman
I feel very strongly that I’m surrounded by other realities.
Ingmar Bergman
Here, in my solitude, I have the feeling that I contain too much humanity.
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
The individualists stare into each other's eyes and yet deny the existence of each other.
Ingmar Bergman
I have always had the ability to attach my demons to my chariot.
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
To shoot a film is to organize an entire universe.
Ingmar Bergman
