Italy has changed. But Rome is Rome.

I love to find new people. It's not for the sake of their being new; it's because if you find someone who perfectly fits a part, that's such a great thing.

If De Niro wants to spend the twilight of his career as the McDonald's of master thespians, we can't stop him.

The bottom line is if the movie does well, everybody is happy and they forget about what they went through. And if it doesn't, it's 'I told you.' There's one director who I won't mention, who said, 'it's all blood under the bridge.'

There are certain things I am clueless about as far as the new technologies. I see these people in front of these computers all day and I don't know what they are doing - they are doing something, obviously - with Facebook, Instagram and all that. I am aware of it, but basically not in touch.

When you feel that you can't fight it, you just go for it. When it comes to the arts, passion should always trump common sense.

I certainly know the difference between right and wrong.
