There was no pretension, like, "OK, now I'm directing, honey." He was totally himself with the other actors. Now when I've got the chance to work with him, it was just magic, because there's something about his way of giving the world and the air, and you're totally free and you do it just for fun-any impulse is permitted and fine." [On husband Lasse Hallstrom's directing] [On the idea of having her own "Alias" action figure] "I like that. There weren't many [of them] for the Bergman stuff. He didn't do many action sequences." |
