The fear of old age is something that one feels when they're younger. Once you get to being old, you're already there, so you don't even think about it anymore.

I usually don't say anything to the actors. It works better for me because when they come to the set, they are at the same time scared and excited because they are not well aware of what will happen.

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

I do read a lot. I read more than I watch movies.

The way I work with my cinematographer is not based on general principles, but the ideas are triggered by the locations where we shoot.

It's better to face some problems as soon as you can.

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