I think that it helps that I have acted. That said, it doesn't mean you're going to be a good director.

I think a good director is a good listener.

As an actress you can participate, you can be a co-author, help the director. But I always wanted to be able to make the big decisions.

When I think of Italy now, I think of accessories, possessions, bad TV, fake boobs, BMWs.

I think every director has a different take, some are good, some are bad. The directors you get on best with sometimes don't make the best films, so who's to say who is right.

A good director makes a playground and allows you to play.
