Ingmar Bergman

The most profound truths are often found in the simplest moments.

I have always been drawn to the mysteries of life and death.

The camera is a tool for exploring the human soul.

I am a restless spirit, always searching for something more.

I work with the actors, and I try to make them understand what I want. And then I let them do it. I don't interfere too much.

For me, the human face is the most important thing. Everything else is secondary.

I want to make films that are like dreams, that are like music, that are like poetry.

The artist is a tightrope walker. He must walk on a thin line between the conscious and the unconscious.

I believe that the cinema is a language. It is a language that can express everything.

I have always been interested in the human soul, in the human condition.

My films are not about answers, they are about questions.

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

The cinema is a dream machine.

I am a storyteller. That is what I do.

The film is a mirror. It reflects the director's soul.

I have always been fascinated by the relationship between men and women.

The actor is the most important element in a film.

I try to make films that are honest, that are truthful.

The cinema is a magical art form.

I am a very shy person. I don't like to talk about myself.
