The first movie I saw - and I don't know if it influenced me - was 'Ben Hur'.
Maybe sometimes I have been wrong with some movies. Anyway, I try to do my best.
It's me, it's my habit to perform live onstage every four, five years. In Italy, it's my habit.
I could have made a small film and kept all the money from 'Life is Beautiful'. Instead, I spent more money than I had on 'Pinocchio', a very risky film.
It's a sign of mediocrity when you demonstrate gratitude with moderation.
I am like a cartoon strip; I am like Donald Duck; everybody knows me in Italy.
