“I have no idea how I’m perceived in America because I don’t live the reality of America”

I don’t feel the need to prove myself to others, but to prove myself to myself.

In a couple, sometimes, one or both people have to give up their personal life, dreams and ambitions for the good of the family.

If You want a man to notice you, just wear red lipstick

Usually, I’m only sad when something sad happens. I am not a melancholic person. I like to live very much in the present. If I was an animal, I’d be a little cat. They like to live life.

My career, at the moment, is very exciting, but love comes first because it balances me.

Time destroys everything.

When you’re in front of the camera, for a small budget or a big budget movie, there’s no difference.

Now, all the movies are for teenagers. It’s very difficult for an actress to find really deep, beautiful characters to play.

I’m a lucky person because I’ve been loved a lot. I have a great family.

People are very passionate in Italy. If you like something, you like something. If you hate something, you hate something. When you hate something, you are screaming.

When a relationship doesn’t work anymore, it’s terrible to stay with someone that you don’t love.

It’s not the Jews that killed Christ. It was a political situation, and it was the Romans who killed Jesus. They put Jesus on the cross, not the Jews

Love does not go away, it changes.

I live in Paris but I feel I am a daughter of Europe.

Beauty becomes alive and interesting when it’s habited.

I believe that time destroys everything. You can take one beautiful apple, red. After a while, it becomes shrivelled and full of worms, just like what happens to us

If it’s a good movie, the sound could go off and the audience would still have a perfectly clear idea of what was going on.

The person with just one good idea is a thousand times better off than the person with no good ideas.

You cannot force ideas. Successful ideas are the result of slow growth. Ideas do not reach perfection in a day, no matter how much study is put upon them.

There was a stool there, and some fella kept asking me if I wanted to sit down. When I saw the stool sitting there, it gave me the idea. I’ll just put the stool out there and I’ll talk to Mr Obama and ask him why he didn’t keep all of the promises he made to everybody.

Instead of just recording reality, photographs have become the norm for the way things appear to us, thereby changing the very idea of reality and of realism.

Sometimes I have no idea whats going on.

My idea of a writer: someone interested in everything.

Knowledge, idea, belief stands in the way of wisdom.
