Author of quotes: Ingrid Bergman

On stage you're a different person. You play another person and become that person, in some way it frees from your own problems. But you have to go on stage and work. Work not half-heartedly, thinking that you have to do it, and you yourself is like hell. No! If you open your mouth, open it as follows. Don't do anything by half. Do everything in your power. Otherwise, you will not believe.

Be yourself - the world worships the originals.
Be yourself. The world worships the original.

From "Advice to the actor":
Keep it simple. Make a blank face. The music and the plot will fill it.

For presentation, especially at Christmas, you may want the old witch, and at the end of my life I'm ready for this

A kiss is a lovely trick invented by nature to stop talking when words become superfluous.
