Andreotti had style and class; Berlusconi does not

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

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.

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

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

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

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