The last adventure left on this planet is creativity because we've been everywhere. There's not much left to explore. But there's a lot of exploration left in the human imagination.

I remember that even my first impression of Italian cinema was pictures by paparazzi because my mom was reading all of these trash magazines with paparazzo pictures.

Any film that supports the idea that things can be changed is a great film in my eyes.

There are a lot of things that dancers can do that actors cannot and actors can do that dancers cannot.

To evoke the classic period of Italian cinema in a little film seemed like a great, fun thing to do. I had relations to that period. I had known Fellini and I had known Antonioni. I had made a movie with Antonioni and I had visited Fellini in his studios. So, it seemed like something worthwhile doing. You bring yourself to that mythical cinema.

It's almost scary how stylish things can look if you take the color out - how much more you see the essence of things and how much more something can appear elegant.
