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.

No doubt, the most important thing in my career was my time with Mr. Bergman, with whom I worked in so many films and also in so many stage productions, so it was a continuous working relationship and also a friendship, of course, that lasted for so many years.

I remember those days with Bergman with great nostalgia. We were aware that the films were going to be quite important, and the work felt meaningful.

I owe Mr. Bergman so much.

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

I think English is a fantastic, rich and musical language, but of course your mother tongue is the most important for an actor.
