Bergman was courageous in choosing people to do things that they themselves might not expect to play.

I owe Mr. Bergman so much.

Bergman has a very special eye for people. His background taught him to listen and to feel.

If people ask me, 'For you, what is your most important film?' I have a feeling that they all sort of want me to answer with one of the Bergman films. But I cannot choose.

Mr. Bergman was a man of great working discipline. He forced everyone to concentrate when it was important. No disturbing noise during rehearsal. A code of silence.

Mr. Bergman had a great imagination and saw the possibilities within every one of his actors, and he gave us great challenges. It was very inspiring.
