Paolo Sorrentino

There's one thing that I like about Rome that was stated by Napoleon: that from sublime to pathetic is only one step away. And in Rome there's a constant shifting between sublime and pathetic.

I usually don't say anything to the actors. It works better for me because when they come to the set, they are at the same time scared and excited because they are not well aware of what will happen.

I watch a lot of football.

After ten years of word processing, I can't even do hand writing anymore.

Fear follows crime and is its punishment.

I'd date someone younger or older; age doesn't matter to me. Or looks, really - it's all about maturity.
