Famous quotes by Max von Sydow:

"There are characters which you spend a lot of time with, and you get to know, and you feel that -- suddenly it's a friend somewhere. And they are nice to return to."

"He made sense to me from the very beginning, ... I felt I knew him. I felt I recognized him somewhere."

"Pelle, the Conqueror."

"If Jesus came back today, and saw what was going on in his name, he'd never stop throwing up."

"A vacation spot out of season always has a very special magic."

"Movies give me an opportunity to go places. I'm not only a Swede but an American, not just a man of my time, but I've been living 2,000 years ago-and not just in a new country, America, but in the Holy Land, too."

"When I finished the role of Christ, I felt as though I'd been let out on parole. A man who has served 18 months isn't eager to go back to prison."

"Perhaps I scare people. I don't know why."

"I don't believe in devils. Indifference and misunderstandings can create evil situations. Most of the time, people who appear to be evil are really victims of evil deeds."

"I remember those days with Bergman with great nostalgia. We were aware that the films were going to be quite important, and the work felt meaningful."

"All my life I've been looking for diversity."

"The offers I get are for grandfathers, uncles - and they often die very quickly in the script."

"The studio rented a house for my wife in Los Angeles under a phony name to keep reporters away. Whenever I wanted to visit her and my children, I would have to sneak in the back door after dark."

"Playing Christ, I began to feel shut away from the world. A newspaper became one of my biggest luxuries. I noticed that some of my close friends began treating me with reverence."

"The most difficult part of playing Christ was that I had to keep up the image around the clock. As soon as the picture finished, I returned home to Sweden and tried to find my old self. It took six months to get back to normal."

"Filming is repetition and many takes."

"Only very rarely are foreigners or first-generation immigrants allowed to be nice people in American films. Those with an accent are bad guys."

"The idea of working with Steven Spielberg was very attractive. He's such a master. He knows the language of the camera and of filmmaking, which gives him a great freedom."

"In a theater, the part is mine and I can control it as I want to. In the movies, I don't have direct contact, and I am fighting technical machinery."
