Top 10 most inspiring quotes by Max von Sydow
- Spielberg knows his craft so well, he can also improvise, and that is a lot of fun.
- I think English is a fantastic, rich and musical language, but of course your mother tongue is the most important for an actor.
- 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’m not in retirement. I just don’t want to work so much, and I don’t get that many offers any more.
- Playing Christ, I began to feel shut away from the world. A newspaper became one of my biggest luxuries. I noticed that some of my close friends began treating me with reverence.
- The idea of working with Steven Spielberg was very attractive. He’s such a master. He knows the language of the camera and of filmmaking, which gives him a great freedom.
- Only very rarely are foreigners or first-generation immigrants allowed to be nice people in American films. Those with an accent are bad guys.
- It’s important to me to work in my own language now and then. I love English, but you can never learn to master a foreign language if you’re not brought up with it.
- I began imagining scenes in public which some drunk would come up to me and slap me in the face. Nothing like that ever happened, but I often wonder if I would have turned the other cheek.
- 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.
