For me, Fellini was like a watermelon. It is there. A watermelon cannot die.

I remember in the circus learning that the clown was the prince, the high prince. I always thought that the high prince was the lion or the magician, but the clown is the most important.

Dante Alighieri is a universal poet, and great creators, they are writing for everybody always. Every single verse is very moving, and the beauty - if we don't understand, we just stay listening to the sound and it's like hearing music.

For me, Fellini was like a watermelon. It is there. A watermelon cannot die.

My duty is to try to reach beauty. Cinema is emotion. When you laugh you cry.

The exquisite truth is to believe in something that maybe you know is a fiction, but you believe in it willingly.
