“I’ve been lucky because I’ve had opportunities. Thanks to Bergman, I’m sure, I’ve gotten a lot of those. I’ve gotten opportunities to play in interesting stories and work with interesting directors and, of course, interesting actors. It’s all a matter of opportunities. I’ve known so many great actors who never got the opportunity to have audiences see what they do or really be appreciated. I’ve been lucky. Yes, I’ve been lucky.”

Max von Sydow (born April 10, 1929)
