I spent lunchtime in a grave during the filming of 'Bloody Mama.' When you're younger, you feel that's what you need to do to help you stay in character. When you get older, you become more confident and less intense about it - and you can achieve the same effect.

I didn't have a problem with rejection, because when you go into an audition, you're rejected already. There are hundreds of other actors. You're behind the eight ball when you go in there.

Italy has changed. But Rome is Rome.

Loneliness has been following me my whole life.

In acting, I always try to go back to what would actually be the real situation, the real human behavior in life.

Auditions are like a gamble. Most likely you won't get the part, but if you don't go, you'll never know if you could've got it.
