If You Mention Any Ideological Thing About Shooting Last Tango In Paris, I Was Thinking I Was Doing A Political Film.
You Know, In Ten Years You're Gonna Be Playing Soccer With Your Tits, What Do You Think Of That?
Commuting In A Wheelchair Is Not Easy. I Live In A Very Old Part Of Rome. These Cobbles Everywhere... Terrible! In London, It Is The Same. Every Pavement Is Uneven.
I Like That 3d Is Based On The Fact That You Look With Two Eyes, So Two Cameras Imitate That.
I Like To Be In A Huis Clos, As The French Say - In One Place. It's Something That In General Can Create A Bit Of Claustrophobia. But For Me, Claustrophobia Becomes Almost Immediately Claustrophilia. I Love It!
I Think That Hollywood Should Also Be Influenced By Directors From Hong Kong. You See How Quentin Tarantino Is Really The Example Of How You Can Develop, And How You Can Go Ahead If You Accept The Existence Of Different Cinematic Cultures. There You Have Quentin Playing With Kung-fu. That's Why The Independents Are The Most Interesting.
To Explore Technology For Me Is Something That I Have To Do. Otherwise, I Feel Completely Left In The Back... Abandoned.
I Think That I Used To Love Hollywood Movies. I Remember Great Phases And Moments. But, Unfortunately, Now Is Not The Moment.
What I Was Talking About Was, Of Course, Very Autobiographical - '68 Was The Moment When All The Young People Were Incredibly Excited, Because When We Were Going To Sleep, We Knew We Would Wake Up Not Tomorrow, But In The Future. There Was A Sense Of Future That Was The Result Of The Mixture Of Politics, Cinema, Music, The First Joints. And The Movies Were A Very Important Part Of That Cocktail.
Having No Children Had Been A Kind Of Choice Up To The Moment When, From A Choice, It Became A Sadness.
After Many, Many Years, I Fell Out Of Love With Politics. It's Not Something I Like But It's The Truth.
