Ingrid Bergman

“Happiness is good health and a bad memory.”

“You must train your intuition-you must trust the small voice inside you which tells you exactly what to say, what to decide.”

“A kiss is a lovely trick designed by nature to stop speech when words become superfluous.”

“I've never sought success in order to get fame and money; it's the talent and the passion that count in success.”

“Success is getting what you want. Happiness is wanting what you get.”

“Success is getting what you want; happiness is wanting what you get.”

“I made so many films which were more important, but the only one people ever want to talk about is that one with Bogart.”

“I remember one day sitting at the pool and suddenly the tears were streaming down my cheeks. Why was I so unhappy? I had success. I had security. But it wasn't enough. I was exploding inside...”

“I can do everything with ease on the stage, whereas in real life I feel too big and clumsy. So I didn't choose acting. It chose me.”

“Until 45 I can play a woman in love. After 55 I can play grandmothers. But between those ten years, it is difficult for an actress.”

“I don't think anyone has the right to intrude in your life, but they do. I would like people to separate the actress and the woman.”

“A kiss is a secret told to the mouth instead of the ear; kisses are the messengers of love and tenderness.”

“I have no regrets. I wouldn't have lived my life the way I did if I was going to worry about what people were going to say.”

“Time is shortening. But every day that I challenge this cancer and survive is a victory for me.”

“Be yourself. The world worships the original.”
