[On Ingrid Bergman] "I didn`t do anything I`ve never done before, but when the camera moves in on that Bergman face, and she`s saying she loves you, it would make anybody feel romantic."
Humphrey Bogart

Humphrey Bogart
I can identify with what Bergman says about life, about what he says about love. I identify more or less with his attitude towards the world... towards men and women and what we do in everyday life... forgetting about what is most important.
Krzysztof Kieslowski
I believe [Ingmar Bergman], [Vittorio De Sica] and [Federico Fellini] are the only three filmmakers in the world who are not just artistic opportunists. By this I mean they don`t just sit and wait for a good story to come along and then make it. They have...
Stanley Kubrick
As a child, you watch the films your parents watch. My father would rather watch Lino Ventura than Ingmar Bergman. Each home has its culture, its roots, its story, which means prime time films.
Olivier Martinez
[Steven Spielberg on Bergman] I have always admired him, and I wish I could be an equally good filmmaker as he is, but it will never happen. His love for the cinema almost gives me a guilty conscience.
Ingmar Bergman
The directors that have personal, emotional feelings for me are Ingmar Bergman and Federico Fellini, and I`m sure there has been some influence but never a direct one. I never set out to try and do anything like them. But, you know, when you listen to a j...
Woody Allen
[to Ingrid Bergman when she told him that she couldn`t play a certain character the way he wanted because "I don`t feel like that, I don`t think I can give you that kind of emotion."] "Ingrid - fake it!"
Alfred Hitchcock
In my whole life I`ve never had a woman so much in love with me as Ingrid Bergman was. The day after the picture ended I couldn`t get her on the phone.
Gary Cooper
You have to get more involved in a Bergman film than you do in others, because it deals with much deeper and more philosophic questions than the average movie. He also establishes a much closer relationship with his actors and technicians than would ever ...
Max Sydow
I once wrote a horror screenplay for my friend Vincent to make when he was in high school that was close to Bergman`s The Seventh Seal". Very psychological horror stuff. Alot of the religious elements in the script ended up in Dogma.
Kevin Smith
[on Frank Capra] He was my favorite director. Woody Allen and I once sat in a restaurant and picked five pictures we`d take to an island. And much to my shock, he didn`t take a Capra picture and I took two. He took three Ingmar Bergman movies.
Burt Reynolds
Hollywood for the most part aimed at the lowest common denominator. It`s conceived in venality, it`s motivated by pandering to the public, by making a lot of money. People like Ingmar Bergman thought about life, and they had feelings, and they wanted to d...
Woody Allen
I don`t think they [Bergman`s roles] were written for me as a personality. Many of his characters through the years have been related: there are those who want to believe but cannot, and there are those who believe like children and it`s no problem for th...
Max Sydow
I was just a poor student. I had no interest in it. When I make a film the tacit contract with the audience is that I will give them some entertainment and not bore them. I have to do that. I just lay a message on them. Great filmmakers, like Ingmar Bergm...
Woody Allen
People talk about my signature. But I ask them if they ever saw Howard Hawks` films. They`re filled with overlapping dialog. Everything I`ve learned has come from watching other directors: Bergman [Ingmar Bergman, Fellini [Federico Fellini], Kurosawa [Aki...

Robert Altman
[In response to Ingmar Bergman`s contention that Ultimo tango a Parigi (1972) (US title: "Last Tango in Paris") was really about homosexuals, and only in those terms did the film make sense and become interesting] I accept all interpretations of my films....
Bernardo Bertolucci
There are only seven movie stars in the world whose name alone will induce American bankers to lend money for movie productions, and the only woman on the list is Ingrid Bergman.
Cary Grant
I was six years old when I saw my first Godard movie, eight when I first experienced Bergman. I wanted to be a director when I was fourteen.
Julie Delpy
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.
Max Sydow
I don`t think you should hurt or kill animals just to entertain an audience. Animals should have some rights. But there are a lot of directors, including Ingmar Bergman, who will injure animals to further a plot. I will have none of it.
