(on acting school) For a few years at school I tried to play the roles they wanted me to play, but it became less and less interesting to ponce around the place. Even now, when I sometimes think of doing a play, I think of rehearsal rooms and people hugging and everyone talking over cups of coffee because they are nervous. It`s both very touching and it makes me a little nauseous and claustrophobic. Too much talk. I don`t rehearse at all in film if I can help it. In talking a character through, you define it. And if you define it, you kill it dead.

- Daniel Day-Lewis

Daddy had got us rooms in a motel until he could find us a house. There were not a lot of places available for a young family on our budget. Daddy went around to dozens of places. Nobody wanted kids. Finally, he found one in the hills south of Glendale. As usual, the landlady asked if he had kids. "Yep,` he replied. `A boy and a girl.` `Well, whatta you going to do about them?` she wanted to know, implying that she didn`t allow children. `I`m gonna take`em out and drown them in the Los Angeles River, and come back tomorrow.` That was my father - ask a silly question and just wait. She must have had the same sense of humor: we moved in the next day.

(on making Roger Dodger (2002)) I really loved it. On the set, it was like being part of a real family. Everybody was there because they wanted to be and not because of some paycheck - there were no dressing rooms or big trailers; you`d get ready in a bathroom. Here`s this $2-million movie that could have gone nowhere or everywhere. But it`s one of the most special experiences that I`ve ever had. I want more similar experiences. I`m not "Showgirl" - that`s the point!

- Elizabeth Berkley

Let me say this that I don`t complain much about it because 95% of celebrity is good. People are very nice to you, they put you up in really nice hotel rooms, they give you free shit, I mean it`s basically good. If I`m in a situation, and this rarely happens anymore, where someone doesn`t recognize me and treats me like everyone else, I`m horrified. I`m not used to it anymore. That being said, it does get old to have to always be a monkey in a zoo. In the day-to-day thing to have people looking, talking, grabbing, needing something--I don`t know what it`s like anymore to be anonymous. Until you give it up, it`s hard to picture what it`s like, but yeah there are times that I do wish that it would go away, if only for a moment. (On being a celebrity)

- Ingmar Bergman

(On Andrei Tarkovsky): When film is not a document, it is dream. That is why Tarkovsky is the greatest of them all. He moves with such naturalness in the room of dreams. He doesn`t explain. What should he explain anyhow? He is a spectator, capable of staging his visions in the most unwieldy but, in a way, the most willing of media. All my life I have hammered on the doors of the rooms in which he moves so naturally. Only a few times have I managed to creep inside. Most of my conscious efforts have ended in embarrassing failure- The Serpent`s Egg (1977), Beröringen (1971), Ansikte mot ansikte (1976) and so on.

- Ingmar Bergman

I`m deeply fixated on my childhood. Some impressions are extremely vivid, light, smell, and all. There are moments when I can wander through my childhood`s landscape, through rooms long ago, remember how they were furnished, where the pictures hung on the walls, the way the light fell. It`s like a film-little scraps of a film, which I set running and which I can reconstruct to the last detail-except their smell.
