The life before '68 was very different from the life after '68. Before '68, our days were full of authoritarian moments. There were authorities everywhere. In fact, the movement of '68 was young people against their authorities, children against their parents. And that remained. The most important thing of all, the thing that lasted, was the first feminist movement and the position of women in society. That completely changed and that was very, very important.

I am still against any kind of censorship. It's a subject in my life that has been very important.

I think that I used to love Hollywood movies. I remember great phases and moments. But, unfortunately, now is not the moment.

Sometimes I think that I understand my movies after I make them. Really. I go very often off of instinct.

Commuting in a wheelchair is not easy. I live in a very old part of Rome. These cobbles everywhere... terrible! In London, it is the same. Every pavement is uneven.

To explore technology for me is something that I have to do. Otherwise, I feel completely left in the back... abandoned.

I like to be in a huis clos, as the French say - in one place. It's something that in general can create a bit of claustrophobia. But for me, claustrophobia becomes almost immediately claustrophilia. I love it!
