Only comedians can talk about death, life, God and Virgin Mary. If I was a tragic actor, I couldn't allow myself. But with this accent I can do it. I can talk with death in person because I am a clown. Yes. And I am proud to be a clown - very much.
Roberto BenigniI would like to thank my parents in Vergaio, a little village in Italy. They gave me the biggest gift: poverty.
