Ingrid Bergman

Cinema is a director's medium, but the actor is the soul.

Life is not a spectator sport. If you're going to spend your whole life in the grandstand just watching what goes on, in my opinion you're wasting your life.

I always wanted to be an actress, but I never thought I'd make it.

Beauty is the promise of happiness.

I regret nothing, except perhaps not having more children.

Theater is the most beautiful place on earth.

Love is a game that two can play and both win.

I am not a great actress, but I am a good one.

Time is the most precious thing we have.

Scandals are like ice cream; they melt away quickly.

I believe in God, but not in religion.

Acting allows me to live many lives.

Family is the most important thing in life.

I was born to act.

Humor is the great thing, the saving thing.

The camera never lies, but it can be kind.

Life is too short for bad coffee.

I love Paris in the springtime.

Women in film are often typecast, but I broke the mold.

Forgiveness is the key to action and freedom.
