Walking down the street now is even worse. Before, it was just because I was beautiful; now it's because I'm beautiful and famous. Everyone wants you at the same time, everyone hates you at the same time.
Now, all the movies are for teenagers. It's very difficult for an actress to find really deep, beautiful characters to play.
I like comedies, I like thrillers, I like love stories. Everything is beautiful; it depends if the film is good, who cares? Everything is interesting.
I believe that time destroys everything. You can take one beautiful apple, red. After a while, it becomes shrivelled and full of worms, just like what happens to us
I know many beautiful people and their lives are just so terrible. They feel so uncomfortable with themselves. Being comfortable is not about what you look like, but how you feel.
I feel fine and comfortable with myself, but not because I'm beautiful.
I wouldn't want to be 20 again for anything.
Today, when I see the scene on screen, I can't handle it. I look away.
It's a strong warning especially for actors who are prone to being image-conscious. When their image is gone their world and life collapse.
To be a lawyer was too boring for me, for my personality.
Truly, I am a woman of the last minute. When I was pregnant, I organised three different hospitals because I couldn't decide where I wanted to have my baby: London, Rome or Paris. In the end, I decided to go to Rome, arrived on the Monday and gave birth on the Saturday.
Mel is a great director because he's not just a director, he's an actor, so he knows how to direct actors. I loved working with him. He's great as a director. He's so intelligent. He's generous. I really loved him.
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.
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.
