Liv Ullmann Net Worth

Liv Ullmann's Quotes

• [on working as a director] I've worked with more bad directors than good directors, and you learn by the bad ones because you find out how they destroy other peoples' fantasy life.
• [on her frequent co-star, Max von Sydow] He is a friend I love dearly as perhaps you can only love someone you have worked with and known personally. It is a double relationship mixed into one. We haven't worked together for several years and I miss that very much.
• Quick cuts and camera angles - they think that's film. That is not film. Film is to show people and life, and to make you know more about life than when you went in. It's not this cut, cut, cut, kill, kill, kill, sex, sex, sex...
• The older one gets in this profession, the more people there are with whom one would never work again.
• [on Ingrid Bergman] If possible, I admired the woman more than the actress.
