We all need illusions. That’s why we love movies.
In Italy, the concept of the family is very important.
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.
I have no idea how I’m perceived in America because I don’t live the reality of America.
Time destroys everything.

I come from a Catholic religion, but I’m not Catholic.
When I have to go to Cannes, that is boring to me.

I’m not a movie star. I’m just an actress.
In acting process, it’s very difficult to explain. It’s something very intimate, very private.

Being an actress is the sublimation of feminity.
When I make an American movie it’s going to come out all over the world-it doesn’t happen the same way for an Italian film or a French film.
Irreversible is not glamorous at all. I try to do different things because I want to grow as an actress and I like to take risks.
In a couple, sometimes, one or both people have to give up their personal life, dreams and ambitions for the good of the family.
