I think cinema has this beautiful component. It's a universal language.

Thank you to Italy. That is a crazy country but beautiful.

Wasting time is something that people do or feel all over the world, not just in Italy.

The thing is, even though you think a lot about your movie, and there's a lot of preparation behind it, the final end result completely goes beyond it. It's not something you're aware of.

There are contemporary artists that I hate with all my heart. These are provocateurs that are without feeling. Where is the real emotion?

There's one thing that I like about Rome that was stated by Napoleon: that from sublime to pathetic is only one step away. And in Rome there's a constant shifting between sublime and pathetic.

I don't use Twitter. I'm a serious person.
