“I like comedies, I like thrillers, I like love stories. Everything is beautiful;…” — Monica Bellucci

Directors don't call you for your beauty but for your talent.

I don't work all the time. That's why I waited to have children until I was ready for that. I try to organise my time according to them because they need me. I don't want to put my work first anymore because it's not as important as my children.

I have always loved lipstick. For women, that love comes from our mother and grandmothers. It's so natural for a woman to open up her mirror and apply lipstick.

It's complicated coming from a culture where to be a mother is more important than to have a career.
