Roberto Benigni

It's a sign of mediocrity when you demonstrate gratitude with moderation.

I would like to thank my parents in Vergaio, a little village in Italy. They gave me the biggest gift: poverty.

In Italy, the country where fascism was born, we have a particular relation with the Holocaust, but as a turning point in history it belongs to everybody in the world. It is a part of humanity.

Recently, I was in Bernalda, my dad's ancestral home town in Italy. He has just refurbished a palazzo and turned it into a hotel, so we had my sister's wedding there. It was beautiful.

If you're not having a good time, find something else that gives you some joy in life.

I love Hindi films.
