“I think that people are going to find more interest in the human condition, especially with them being weaned on so much reality television.

“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. It was very good for me and it was fun because it is nice to play crazy people if you are not in reality. And I think perhaps that changed how Ingmar saw me. 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

“I define Inner Space as an imaginary realm in which on the one hand the outer world of reality, and on the other the inner world of the mind meet and merge. Now, in the landscapes of the surrealist painters, for example, one sees the regions of Inner Space; and increasingly I believe that we will encounter in film and literature scenes which are neither solely realistic nor fantastic. In a sense, it will be a movement in the interzone between both spheres.” WorldMindBelieveHandsRealityFilmLiteratureI BelieveSpaceExampleMovementScenePainterFantasticLandscapeRealmsEncountersRegionsRealisticSpheresImaginaryInner WorldOuter WorldsSurrealist Author:J.

“Memory is strange. Scientifically, it is not a mechanical means of repeating something. I can think a thousand times about when I broke my leg at the age of ten, but it is never the same thing which comes to mind when I think about it. My memory of this event has never been, in reality, anything except the memory of my last memory of that event. This is why I use the image of a palimpsest - something written over something partially erased - that is what memory is for me. It's not a film you play back in exactly the same way.
