"I don't think anyone has the right to intrude in your life, but they do. I would like people to separate the actress and the woman"
- Ingrid Bergman
About this Quote
In this quote, Ingrid Bergman expresses her belief that no one can invade or interfere with somebody's individual life. Nevertheless, she acknowledges that this is often not the case and people do invade others' lives. As a starlet, Bergman understands that her public persona and personal life are often linked and she wishes for people to acknowledge and respect the difference between the 2. She desires to be viewed as both a starlet and a woman, with her own personal life and struggles different from her on-screen efficiencies. This quote highlights the significance of borders and privacy in the public eye.
"Life is life - whether in a cat, or dog or man. There is no difference there between a cat or a man. The idea of difference is a human conception for man's own advantage"
