The passion for art is, as for believers, very religious. It unites people, its message is of common humanity. Art has become my religion - others pray in church. It's a banality, but you don't possess art, it possesses you. It's like falling in love.
The Italians live well. They have problems, like all countries, but they are well-dressed, the women are pretty.

I have no sense of nostalgia. Tomorrow is what interests me.
