A comedy that is ironic, sometimes bitter, in some cases even dramatic, tragic: This is what Italian comedy is.

I'd like to do a film which is funny.

I'm going to do an adaptation of the Italian film, Bread and Tulips. I really like that film.

After making several tragic movies in a row, I was looking to do a comedy, and one without cynicism.

At least in America, the narrative is I'm a Cannes favorite. But, in fact, I've had my best experience in Venice, both with the audience and the jury.

I wanted to go to Rome. I got an offer to do an Italian film and I went.

Doing comedy for film is always a challenge because you are in the hands of the editor after the fact. I am hoping I can do some more soon, I enjoy doing comedy.

I'd love to get into comedy and test out new genres of film.

I don't do comedy so much although I would like to do a comedy.
