In a theater, the part is mine and I can control it as I want to. In the movies, I don't have direct contact, and I am fighting technical machinery.
I've never been in a barroom brawl in my life. I just don't do such things.
I don't believe in devils. Indifference and misunderstandings can create evil situations. Most of the time, people who appear to be evil are really victims of evil deeds.
I'm not in retirement. I just don't want to work so much, and I don't get that many offers any more.
I'm getting too old to play some parts, but I'm still greedy.
I think English is a fantastic, rich and musical language, but of course your mother tongue is the most important for an actor.
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 just feel I shouldn't work too much, because there are so many other things to do.

Bergman has a very special eye for people. His background taught him to listen and to feel.
In Hollywood they usually cast me as villains or priests.
Perhaps I scare people. I don't know why.
