When I was brought up in Sweden, there was a great opportunity for young people to learn how to act in our municipal theaters with their small companies. You would be under contract for eight months and have the summer free to take other opportunities.
From Max von Sydow
Awards are lovely and always welcome.
I'm an actor; I'm not a director.
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.
There are many documentary filmmakers who have a tough time because they don't really get what they need to do what they want. There are so many people with good visions that should be encouraged and helped. And they will deliver, I'm sure.
Unfortunately, not all stories end positively.
Sometimes you become friends with the characters you portray.
It's not a matter of learning lines. It's a matter of getting into the ideas and the will of the person. It's a matter of, 'What does he want to do? What does he want to achieve?'
Italians are great improvisers. If something unforeseen happens, they throw up their hands, and they adjust.
It often disturbs me, when I see a film set in a historical time, that the people are too modern.
