Gluttony is not a secret vice.

I've spent most of my mature life trying to prove that I'm not irresponsible.

I'm not basically a happy person, but I have all kinds of joy.

Cinema as a means of expression fascinates me.

I was spoiled in a very strange way as a child, because everybody told me, from the moment I was able to hear, that I was absolutely marvelous, and I never heard a discouraging word for years, you see. I didn't know what was ahead of me.

n Italy for 30 years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love - they had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock.

I hate Woody Allen physically, I dislike that kind of man.
