Ingmar Bergman, 1969: Where one feels most touched, and gets most furious, is when one hears people, decent people, who go toddling off to the theatre and fill the concert halls and go to the evening classes, say: Ive an enormous respect for artists and I love art and I think art is terribly important to people whore suffering. There they sit patiently, patiently, waiting to be edified. But usually the artists, with their enormous vanity, are less interesting than the people who are sitting there waiting for them to edify them. I loathe the whole of this humble attitude towards artists, who really ought to be given a kick in the ass. Yes, one could say a lot about all this.
