More quotes by Liv Ullmann
If a person is found dead here, a postmorten will always reveal whether he has spent less than three weeks in the city. That is the length of time it takes this pollution to invade the body, after which it is there forever.
Liv Ullmann
I can't expect people to decide that they will change with me, so I can see why I'm on the old side.
Liv Ullmann
The void Papa's death left in me became a kind of cavity, into which later experiences were to be laid.
Liv Ullmann
You see that a lot in movies, and today you see it more in movies that are made, because I feel more movies are made towards groups than towards individuals, and they're made more for mass media than for sitting in a movie house allowing it to happen.
Liv Ullmann
It is tough to be a woman. Also as an actor, but more so as a director. And even more today, when distributors and producers are looking at different kinds of films and maybe not necessarily what a woman would want to do.
Liv Ullmann
The best thing that can come with success is the knowledge that it is nothing to long for.
Liv Ullmann
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.
Liv Ullmann
Life experiences become acting experiences, which in turn become life experiences.
Liv Ullmann
I just think that sometimes it is less hard to wake up feeling lonely when you are alone than to wake up feeling lonely when you are with someone else. Some people would be better off alone, but they feel they've got to get hold of someone to prove they're worthwhile.
Liv Ullmann
Since suffering confers no rights on its victims, we who witness are the ones responsible for restoring these lost rights.
Liv Ullmann
Film is wonderful as opposed to theater, because it will always live there, and they will always be seen.
Liv Ullmann
Colin [Farrell] I talked to several times on the phone, and I said, remember, we have only twenty-five days of doing the movie [Miss Julie], so you must know some of your text. I was a little un-feminist, I didn't want to say [bossy voice] learn your text! But when he came, he knew all his text.
Liv Ullmann
reality can be magnificent even when life is not.
Liv Ullmann
Oh, those wonder-filled evenings when acting enables me for a short moment to have more life.
Liv Ullmann
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.
Liv Ullmann
It's better to wake up alone knowing that you're alone, than waking up with someone and still be lonely
Liv Ullmann
August Strindberg gave me the opportunity to have this incredible story [Miss Julie ], about the class system, about unfairness in life, but also this story about man and woman. What I wanted, because he gave me the freedom, to give her a voice that I missed a little in her.
Liv Ullmann
What I have always loved most in men is imperfection.
Liv Ullmann
I consider myself a realist who wants to stand up for women's voices, not when they try to be the same, but when they stand up for who we are and what we see and how important it is that our voice is heard.
Liv Ullmann
One of the things I like about my profession, and that I find healthy, is that one constantly has to break oneself to pieces.
