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.

If you have a script that's not great, if you have a great director, you can make a great movie, but if you have a great script with a director who's not good, never are you going to have a good movie.

I'm a European, and I live there. I work in European films, and then once in a while, I make an American movie.

Wherever I go, I am Italian. The way I talk, the way I eat, the way femininity is important to me. The way I love Italian food.

When you see a silent movie, you understand everything that's going on from the images because the images are so strong.

I am certainly Italian in my love of food! I eat everything, but I love Italian food most of all. Even my daughter does. Her favourite food is pasta and parmigiana.
