Hopefully we are going to see more of you in the coming years!
It's a shame her screen acting work is so few and far between over the last two decades.
During a talk at Haugesund’s Norwegian International Film Festival in 2016 she said:
That never happened obviously. I wonder what the hell that project was. Maybe it's still a possibility. (The Netflix Gods will make it happen.)
And here's something she recently had to say about her relationship with Bergman, which is nice, especially the dog comparison...

“I don’t want to direct anymore.”
“I want to use my strength to act in a film - there I can use it with a sensitive director, and write. I took that decision right now,” the 77-year-old veteran said with a smile.
As an actress, she is hoping to work with Anthony Hopkins in 2017 on an as yet unannounced film. The duo previously worked together on 1977 feature A Bridge Too Far.

I do not know. Obviously, what appealed to me were the movies I had seen—I had incredible admiration. When we were in the beginning of the movie, I was very shy—I didn’t talk—so it was good that in Persona I played somebody who absolutely didn’t talk. And sometimes I would read, waiting for my time, and I would look up, and I would look at the camera and there he was, just looking at me. Can you imagine? You are 25 years old, and this man is looking at me? And he had a brown leather jacket—and my one memory of my father, before he died, is he had a brown leather jacket. So I was 25 and I was romantic. To be true, I couldn’t describe Persona intellectually at that time—I didn’t even understand it. Neither did Bibi. But somehow we were inspired and our heads didn’t take over. I knew, “This is really Ingmar.” I just knew that. And the more I got to know him, the more I was watching him and seeing him, I knew, “This is about him.” And I know what he saw: he saw that I understood that. And if that hadn’t worked that way, that I understood it—he gave me trust, like he always gave the actors trust, and he saw what I was doing in the close-ups—he would have continued writing the movies that came for Max von Sydow, for a man, for Erland Josephson, for a man. I didn’t take over for Bibi or any of the girls; I took over for the men, and I knew that. We never talked about that, but I knew that. And I know that he knew that I saw him. And, you know, sometimes I wasn’t looking at an old intellectual soul mate sitting there; sometimes you are happy you have a dog, and the dog is looking at you, and you know that dog recognizes you and knows you, and I think it was something like that. I think we recognized each other. We were very different, but we recognized each other, and that means so much. And then we fell in love.
