Ingmar Bergman

I have always been drawn to the dark side of human nature.

Art is a way of making sense of the chaos of life.

I am a storyteller, and my stories are often about loneliness and isolation.

The camera is my eye, my soul.

I am a creature of habit, and my habits are often solitary.

The greatest challenge in filmmaking is to capture the invisible.

My characters are often reflections of myself, my fears, my desires.

I have a deep need to communicate, to connect with others.

The creative process is a mysterious and often painful journey.

I am constantly searching for beauty in the ordinary.

My films are often about the search for God, or the absence of God.

I am a perfectionist, and that can be both a blessing and a curse.

The human mind is an endless labyrinth.

I believe in the power of images to convey emotion and meaning.

My greatest fear is to lose my imagination.

The act of creation is a form of prayer.

I am a solitary man, but I crave connection.

Filmmaking is a constant struggle against compromise.

The past is always present in my work.

I am a dreamer, and my dreams often become my films.
