When you see a silent movie, you understand everything that's going on from the images because the images are so strong.
When I have to go to Cannes, that is boring to me.
I live in Paris but I feel I am a daughter of Europe.
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
Envy is human nature.
My career, at the moment, is very exciting, but love comes first because it balances me.
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.
Today, when I see the scene on screen, I can't handle it. I look away.
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.
I like to do on screen what I'm not in life. In life, I'm much more weak and insecure, and so then you know I like to play characters that are stronger than me.
