- Evil
- |
- Nov 07, 2020

- Love
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
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.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Movies give me an opportunity to go places. I'm not only a Swede but an American, not just a man of my time, but I've been living 2,000 years ago-and not just in a new country, America, but in the Holy Land, too.
- Nice
- |
- Nov 07, 2020

- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020

- My Life
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Playing the role of Christ was like being in a prison. It was the hardest part I've ever had to play in my life. I couldn't smoke or drink in public. I couldn't.

- Home
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The most difficult part of playing Christ was that I had to keep up the image around the clock. As soon as the picture finished, I returned home to Sweden and tried to find my old self. It took six months to get back to normal.
- Get
- |

The offers I get are for grandfathers, uncles - and they often die very quickly in the script.
- Children
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The studio rented a house for my wife in Los Angeles under a phony name to keep reporters away. Whenever I wanted to visit her and my children, I would have to sneak in the back door after dark.
- Children
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
There are those who want to believe but can't, and there are those who believe as children and it's no problem for them at all.
- Man
- |
- Nov 07, 2020

- |
- Nov 07, 2020

I owe Mr. Bergman so much.
- Humor
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I admired Stephen Daldry very much; I think he's a brilliant director, and also, I feel close to him because he has a lot of theater behind him. He's also a man of great imagination and a lovely sense of humor.
- Great Opportunity
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
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.
- Awards
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Awards are lovely and always welcome.
- Director
- |

- Friendship
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
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.

Unfortunately, not all stories end positively.
- Matter
- |

- Mother
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My father was a professor of folklore, and my mother was a teacher until she was married. I had a good relationship with them, and the only argument we had was when I went to university and wanted to go into the theater instead of studying to be a lawyer.
- History
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think it's good that we're sometimes reminded of important events in history.
- Myself
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
