I think what you see [in Salome the play backstage] is an artist having this fit of temperament.

I'm not a violent person, never was, but I have this temperament that I've always displayed. I guess it has to do with my tradition and being Italian, we're very outgoing with our emotions.

Great directors can understand the staging in such a way that can make a scene come alive. Others have a certain way of pacing the scene.

I was watching Revolution, and the things I did in that picture, holy smokes! I can't believe I did that, it's like another person. It's the thought of it, it's just appalling to me.

Certainly the movies were always in the air for me. I come from the era when actors thought it was a big deal to be in the movies.

All due respect, and trying to be as modest as I can be: I am a dancer.

Romantic love can be a lot of crap, though, let me tell you. And it can hurt you.
