I hibernate. I hibernate until the next project takes shape in my mind.

The thing is, even though you think a lot about your movie, and there's a lot of preparation behind it, the final end result completely goes beyond it. It's not something you're aware of.

I watch a lot of football.

I do read a lot. I read more than I watch movies.

Rome is a city I love very much. I have lived there since I was a child.

I usually don't say anything to the actors. It works better for me because when they come to the set, they are at the same time scared and excited because they are not well aware of what will happen.
