Ingmar Bergman on writing: “For part a 12 months I had an image within my head of 3 ladies jogging round in a pink room with white outfits. I couldn’t comprehend why those damned girls have been there. i attempted to throw it away . . . discover what they stated to one another simply because they whispered. It got here out that they have been looking at one other girl loss of life. Then the screenplay started—but it took a couple of 12 months. The script continually starts off with an image . . . ”

Jean Renoir on actors: “The fact is, should you discourage an actor you'll by no means locate him back. An actor is an animal, super fragile. You get a bit expression, it isn't precisely what you sought after, yet it’s alive. It’s anything human.”

And Hitchcock—on Hitchcock: “Give [the viewers] excitement, a similar excitement they've got once they get up from a nightmare.”
