Everyone has a first love and mine was the western. When I was a child and dreamed of the movies, it was always as a cowboy on a white horse.

If you're a big Hollywood star, you make one movie a year at the most. I can make five in Europe.

Now Tarantino is making DJANGO UNCHAINED. Everybody is telling me I am in the movie but I've not been asked by Tarantino officially. Not yet. There were many, many other Django films following mine, with other actors and directors, but there is only one Django.

Someone who was a part of my life. Probably the only one that really mattered.

You're the one who likes cigars right? Try smoking this.

I studied at the Piccolo Teatro di Milano: I was a theatre actor.

I'm crazy about westerns. I need to do a western once in a while. It's like you know, eating bread, eating pasta, drinking wine. It's in my blood. I need it.
