It Isn't Easy To Understand

Ingmar Bergman Is A Long Way From Me, But I Admire Him. He, Too, Concentrates A Great Deal On Individuals; And Although The Individual Is What Interests Him Most, We Are Very Far Apart. His Individuals Are Very Different From Mine; His Problems Are Different From Mine - But He's A Great Director. So Is Fellini, For That Matter.

Before Each New Setup, I Chase Everyone Off The Set In Order To Be Alone And Look Through The Camera. In That Moment, The Film Seems Quite Easy. But Then The Others Come In And Everything Becomes Difficult.

I'm More Or Less Skeptical About Marriage, Because Of Family Ties, Relations Between Children And Parents - It's All So Depressing.

I May Film Scenes I Had No Intention Of Filming; Things Suggest Themselves On Location, And We Improvise. I Try Not To Think About It Too Much. Then, In The Cutting Room, I Take The Film And Start To Put It Together, And Only Then Do I Begin To Get An Idea Of What It Is About.

A Film You Can Explain In Words Is Not A Real Film.
