rushthatspeaksLiv Ullmann, from Roger Ebert's memorial to Ingmar Bergman:
"When he was 60 years old he celebrated his birthday on his island, on that beach. And my daughter was there; she was five years old. And... he said to her, 'When you are 60 what will you do then?' She said 'I'll have a big party and my mother will be there. She'll be really old and stupid and gawky but it's gonna be great.' And he looked at her and said 'And what about me? Will I not be there?' And the five-year-old looked up at him and she said, 'Well, you know, I'll leave the party and I'll walk down to the beach and there on the waves you will come dancing towards me.'"
