Zitat des Tages von Monica Bellucci:
I live in Paris but I feel I am a daughter of Europe.
I'm a lucky person because I've been loved a lot. I have a great family.
Now, all the movies are for teenagers. It's very difficult for an actress to find really deep, beautiful characters to play.
When I eat with my friends, it is a moment of real pleasure, when I really enjoy my life.
Personally, I find it romantic not to be with someone all the time; you don't get used to someone or take them for granted.
I believe that time destroys everything. You can take one beautiful apple, red. After a while, it becomes shrivelled and full of worms, just like what happens to us.
In acting process, it's very difficult to explain. It's something very intimate, very private.
My body is an object of work. That's why I think to be an actor is one of the most violent jobs. If you're a pianist, you have your piano. If you're a guitarist, you have your guitar. But if you're a dancer, or you're an actor - your instrument is your body.
When you see a silent movie, you understand everything that's going on from the images because the images are so strong.
I don't stress myself about my looks. I love to laugh. I like being able to lead an interesting life.
I like comedies, I like thrillers, I like love stories. Everything is beautiful; it depends if the film is good, who cares? Everything is interesting.
I like when I have to act and direct; then, when you have to dub, you're by yourself in front of the wall, and I'm always scared that you're not good like when you are in real when you act.
It doesn't surprise me that men in their twenties and thirties are often looking for a much older woman. What is the problem with a man of 30 being with a woman of 50? It is a matter of energy and the soul, not a matter of age of the body.
It's not the Jews that killed Christ. It was a political situation, and it was the Romans who killed Jesus. They put Jesus on the cross, not the Jews.
I have a lot of adrenaline. I have a naturally fast system. But I love to eat, and I am not skinny.
What's natural is beautiful, and when you're not you anymore, you become a caricature.
Usually, I'm only sad when something sad happens. I am not a melancholic person. I like to live very much in the present. If I was an animal, I'd be a little cat. They like to live life.
I grew up in Perugia, Umbria, in a world outside of fashion, so I didn't learn about it until I was older and moved away. In Milan, the women are really into fashion, and all the big fashion brands are based there, but I don't think they feel pressure to look good all the time.
In so many places in the world, women have been prisoners for so long that they feel they have to scream about their rights. But when you scream, nobody listens to you. Real authority comes when you no longer need to scream - and that's something we women still need to learn.
Irreversible is not glamorous at all. I try to do different things because I want to grow as an actress and I like to take risks.
When people divorce, it's always such a tragedy. At the same time, if people stay together it can be even worse.
To be a lawyer was too boring for me, for my personality.
I'm not someone who wakes up at 6 A.M. to go to the gym.
Sometimes it's more difficult to exist as a female lead, especially in action movies because all those men are around you. They take so much place.
I know many beautiful people and their lives are just so terrible. They feel so uncomfortable with themselves. Being comfortable is not about what you look like, but how you feel.
Being an actress is the sublimation of feminity.
After a while in marriage, it doesn't work anymore. There is something missing, there is something wrong. There are few marriages that stay alive forever. We like something, and after a while, we hate what we used to love.
I always wanted children late; I had my first daughter at 39 and the second at 45.
I'm not someone that wants to control everything. I like to work with people that bring their talents to the project. So I like it when the makeup artist has a chance to do their work, when the dresser does their work, when the director does their work. They all come with stories and ideas to think about.
Time destroys everything.
When you're in front of the camera, you have to try to create different emotions because even the person making pictures of you needs inspiration. To be 'you' means nothing - you can be so many yous.
It's complicated coming from a culture where to be a mother is more important than to have a career.
I feel fine and comfortable with myself, but not because I'm beautiful.
When I have to go to Cannes, that is boring to me.
I know very well the difference between my image and who I am.
I'm a true woman, not a Bond girl. That's why I say all the time, 'James Bond lady,' 'James Bond woman.'
