Asia Argento

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.

Having been a child actor, I remember how directors would trick me to get good performances out of me. I don't think you need to do that.

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

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.

I would've done anything to work with Satyajit Ray.
