Let's return the favor. Orson Welles on Ingmar Bergman:
I don't condemn that very northern, very Protestant world of artists like Bergman; it's just not where I live. The Sweden I like to visit is a lot of fun. But Bergman's Sweden always reminds me of something Henry James said about Ibsen's Norway - that it was full of the odor of spiritual paraffin. How I sympathize with that! I share neither Bergmans interests nor his obsessions. He's far more foreign to me than the Japanese.
