Monica Bellucci

"I come from a Catholic religion, but I'm not Catholic."

"I'm a lucky person because I've been loved a lot. I have a great family."

"In a couple, sometimes, one or both people have to give up their personal life, dreams and ambitions for the good of the family."

"Personally, I find it romantic not to be with someone all the time; you don't get used to someone or take them for granted."

"Sometimes when we think about femininity, we think also fragile. But I think you can be feminine and very strong. I think make-up goes with that femininity. I think it's a natural gesture for women and one they do more for themselves than for others."

"Usually, I'm only sad when something sad happens. I am not a melancholic person. I like to live very much in the present. If I was an animal, I'd be a little cat. They like to live life."

"We all need illusions. That's why we love movies."

"When a relationship doesn't work anymore, it's terrible to stay with someone that you don't love."
