"I am normally afraid of birds and have never dreamt of any bird in my life." — Ingmar Bergman

When you finish a film, you never want to see it again.

There is something joyous about not talking.

If I didn't have my profession, I think I would be sitting in a nuthouse. But I have been unceasingly at work, and this has been very healthy for me. So I had no need for therapy.

On a personal level, there are many people who have meant a great deal to me. My father and mother were certainly of vital importance, not only in themselves but because they created a world for me to revolt against.
