Ingmar Bergman

I have always been interested in the inner lives of my characters, and what makes them tick.

The film is a journey, a journey into the heart of darkness, a journey into the light.

I have always believed that art should be a source of both comfort and discomfort.

The cinema is a magical art form, and it can transport us to places we never imagined.

I am living in a state of constant anxiety, a feeling of being pursued by something I cannot define.

Filmmaking is a terrible disease. It's an addiction. It's a fever.

My films are dreams, or perhaps nightmares, that I try to put on the screen.

I work best when I am alone, completely alone, with my thoughts and my fears.

The older I get, the more I realize how little I know.

Love is the only thing that makes life bearable.

I have always been fascinated by the human face. It is a landscape of emotions.

The theater is my first love, my true love.

I am a prisoner of my own imagination.

Every film is a journey into the unknown.

My childhood was a landscape of shadows and light.

I believe in God, but I don't believe in the church.

The most important thing in life is to be honest with yourself.

I am constantly searching for meaning, for truth.

Filmmaking is a way of confronting my demons.

The silence between words is often more important than the words themselves.
