“In Bergman's world I represented a sort of intellectual, skeptical, ironic person, rather cold and frustrated. When I went abroad and made films in Italy and other places, I was used in different ways. I was rather often cast as crazy people, maniacs.

Suddenly I was on the more magical side of his world, playing the people with fantasies, variety, the artists.” PeopleIfsThinkingWorldWayPersonsMadeDifferentPlayRealityFilmUsedArtistFunSidesFantasySawsNiceCrazyChangedColdIntellectualVery GoodCastsVarietyDifferent WaysIronicFrustratedSkepticalManiacsCrazy PeopleBergman Author:Erland Josephson

“The capacity for loving strangers, whether one thinks of them as fictional beings or stars one will never meet, is a profound reflection on the new consciousness whereby every individual leads his or life while aware of all the billions of other people on Earth. Perhaps it is a fantasy or a fallacy that we can feel for so many strangers. Perhaps it is a mask for selfishness.
