Maria Grazia Cucinotta

“It is so fantastic being an actress because you have the chance to be a thousand different people when you act.”

“Rome is magic, it's like being in Hollywood. But the difference between Hollywood and Rome is that here you don't have just the movie business. The movie business is so little, so you also have the choice to hang out with people who do different kinds of business.”

“I took acting and elocution lessons, to get rid of my Sicilian accent.”

“I am curious, I love making discoveries, travelling, speaking with people, go shopping.”

“I decided to an actress because of the film 'La Dolce Vita.'”

“It is better to laugh than cry.”

“I was born in Messina, Sicily. I stayed there until I was 18 and finished my studies.”

“Give me something to do and you will make me happy.”
