Liv Ullmann on Erland Josephson (June 15, 1923 –- February 25, 2012):

I always say he’s my best girlfriend, although he is such a man, such a wonderful man. But we can talk about everything. We don’t have secrets for each other and when we meet, and it can be a year from when we saw each other the last time and now it just opens up and we want to know everything about each other and… He is my very, very best friend and not so much because we privately communicate all the time, it’s because with that camera, when we meet in front of that camera, we are not shy for each other, you know. We can undress our souls. That’s the kind of relationship we have.
