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

In acting process, it’s very difficult to explain. It’s something very intimate, very private.

In Italy, the concept of the family is very important.

I feel fine and comfortable with myself, but not because I’m beautiful.

I know many beautiful people and their lives are just so terrible. They feel so uncomfortable with themselves. Being comfortable is not about what you look like, but how you feel.

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.

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

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

I turned things that were scripted as effects into in-camera stuff, which is sexier.

I thought it would be sexier if it were in-camera cuts. So I did that.

We’re so conditioned to the syntax of the camera that we don’t realize that we are running on only half the visual alphabet…

All those images are being produced basically the same way, through a lens and a camera.

I am semi-ambivalent about being on camera – sort of low-key. I don’t like being on camera stuff that much.

The camera will never compete with the brush and the palette, until such time as photographs can be taken in Heaven or Hell.

If the thrill of hunting were in the hunt, or even in the marksmanship, a camera would do just as well.

I remember weeping behind the camera, because I was so moved by the way they connected.
