Quotes

Cinema makes possible the impossible! For me, It turns dreams into life,and life into dreams.

I met Fellini when I was only 11. He kissed my hand and I think that,symbolically he infected me with his passion for film!,I believe that in order to be happy, we must pursue our dreams, fight,and work hard. Sharing our success and misfortunes with the beloved,ones. . . Dedicating each day to what makes us special. I love my,profession.

I want to devote my life to this "passion" that once provided me with,many adventures and rescued me from the loneliness that we all suffer,in childhood and adolescence. Acting is the closest expression of my,being and I desire to share it with the world.

Men sleep after making love. Women introspect. .
