Asia Argento

What you might see as depravity is, to me, just another aspect of the human condition.

I have nothing in my life besides my work. I am obsessed with it. I leave my house only when I'm forced to.

Italy to me is like the mean mother. Whatever I do, it's never good enough. People say I'm the queen of Cannes, but in Italy I get turned down for work.

As a young child my attention span was, as I remember it, rather short.

I think for any actor, for the roles they deeply, truly want? They always have to audition for them.

If you're going to go to an audition, you don't want to go in trying to force yourself into some archetype that has been thought up by a director and translated by a casting director.
