Quote

Until Genevieve I had tended towards the more dramatic type of role.

While making Genevieve, I learned there could be a lot more to a film than just acting in it.

A film like Genevieve to my contemporaries is not a film made years ago, but last week or last year. They see me as I was then, not as I am now.

I love to challenge myself.

I like to challenge myself.

I love a challenge. And I love defying limitation, gender stereotypes, and people's expectations of me as an actress.

I try to challenge myself as much as possible, as often as possible.

I've always loved a challenge.

I have much to learn from my daughter Sofia. Her minimalism exposes my limitations: I'm too instinctive and operatic, I put too much heart into my work, I get lost sometimes in bizarre things - it's my Italian heritage.

I love a challenge.
