Isabella Rossellini Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Isabella Rossellini:

Before Darwin, our world was very religious. People saw altruism as something given by God for us to be good so that we could go to Paradise.

I started modeling at 28. I'm 5-feet-7 1/2, and I never went on a diet. I followed what my doctor told me: 'It's good to have a little bit of fat. Your weight is fine. Don't go any lighter.'

The secret of using makeup for fashion is to have fun with it. When people see that you are playful, that's attractive. Sometimes people apply makeup because they have bags under their eyes or because they don't feel good, and that just reads 'insecure.'

Isabella Rossellini

I didn't want to become an actress because the competition with my mother would have been to much to live up to.

Isabella Rossellini

Animals are everywhere. Some are more romantic, like tigers and elephants and chimpanzees, and some are less romantic, like earthworms, but they are just as interesting.

Isabella Rossellini

Although Dorothy in Blue Velvet was humiliated and hurt by men, basically I could react to how she felt.

Isabella Rossellini

I'm always a little worried when people have met me in person because I'm worried they'll be disappointed.

Isabella Rossellini

A lot of the advertisement is done by saying: first of all, have a complex about who you are.

Isabella Rossellini

But I don't really see myself as a role model. I'm not a dictator, or someone who wants to be adored!

Isabella Rossellini

Before Darwin, our world was very religious. People saw altruism as something given by God for us to be good so that we could go to Paradise.

People use mobile phones in this very distracting environment where you probably don't have time to watch a 30-minute film, but you might have time to look at a film for a minute and learn something you didn't expect while you walk on the streets.

Isabella Rossellini

When David left me I became totally brokenhearted.

Isabella Rossellini

You don't do an experimental film to become rich, so the people who are involved are involved because they enjoy the creative aspect of it.

Isabella Rossellini

I am now at an age when they wanted me to play her mother.

Isabella Rossellini

There are consequences with age, so you have to evolve. I've loved becoming a filmmaker. But I would love to continue modeling, and there isn't really any job for me. It's being marginalized - that's the sad part.

Isabella Rossellini

Most people divorce because one in the couple falls in love with someone else: it's a common cause of divorce. I still think that it's tinted - this is my opinion - with a veil of racism and American puritanism.

Isabella Rossellini

When I grew up, we always had our chickens, and we ate our eggs, and we ate our chickens. The family always had a pig, and we would kill it at Christmas and eat it for three or four months afterwards.

These same people seem to forget that mother also took a lot of chances with the type of roles she played.

Isabella Rossellini

I always loved experimenting in film.

Isabella Rossellini

I like to extend myself as an actress and David really helped me.

Isabella Rossellini

I was born with a love of animals, the same way I was born with brown hair. When I was a little girl in Rome, I always had pets, which I adored.

Isabella Rossellini

It took me a long time to be accepted as an actress, I think, because of the modeling and because of my mother.

Isabella Rossellini

Market research shows that older women like seeing older women in ads, and that younger women do, too - because they see them and are not frightened of growing older.

Isabella Rossellini

Ever since I was a little girl, I have always loved animals and been fascinated with them.

Isabella Rossellini

The red carpet has become like a parallel business. The next day, there are TV programmes, and magazines, and it's all, 'Do you like the dress or not like the dress?' and 'Did she look fat?' To keep borrowing dresses and jewellery is like a full-time job. And you have to be a fantasy, which you can never be, so you always feel depressed.

Isabella Rossellini

There are so many spiders, and their rituals, their mating rituals, their courtship ritual, can be very, very different.

Isabella Rossellini

Every time you work, it's a new film, and generally when you work with auteurs, people that write and direct their films, there's always an originality.

Isabella Rossellini

I was always interested in animals, but when I was little, animal behavior was still a new science. It was available to become a veterinarian, it was available to study biology, but not specifically animal behavior. In the '60s, Jane Goodall was the founder of this new science.

Isabella Rossellini

I'd love to meet Darwin. He caused such controversy over whether God created the earth in six days or whether we evolved over time. I'd love to discuss that with him - what a fantastic conversation!

When I grew up in Italy in the 1950s, it was still very agricultural. Food was very important; produce was very important. Everyone made their own olive oil. It took me a long time after I moved here to understand that Americans are much further away from their food.

Isabella Rossellini

If we are completely honest with ourselves, everyone has a dark side to their personalities.

Isabella Rossellini

There is this idea that you have to play heroines or women who succeed.

In America, they are paranoid about ruining the reputations of people once they are dead and cannot answer back. They have this fascination which to me seems cruel and morbid. I do not want any part of it.

But my mother loved The Elephant Man, and my father gave David Lynch a scholarship to study in Rome.

Isabella Rossellini

That is the great pleasure of working with great directors. You get to look at the world through many different prisms. I guess I love talent, whatever form it takes.

Isabella Rossellini

I am much more radical in my beliefs than my products represent me to be.

Isabella Rossellini

My father's films are often very slow for the modern audiences, which are used to a lot of editing. It's the audience that watches the film instead of the director dictating the reaction he wants from you.
