Non so se sono un’attrice, una grande attrice o una grande artista. Non so se sono capace di recitare. Ho dentro di me tante figure, tante donne, duemila donne. Ho solo bisogno di incontrarle. Devono essere vere, ecco tutto.

I don’t know if I’m an actress, a great actress or a great artist. I don’t know if I can act. I have many images inside of me, many women, two thousand women. I just need to meet them. They must be real, that’s all.

Anatoly Solonitsyn August 30, 1934 – June 11, 1982

“As a rule I never know in advance what actors I shall use–with the one exception of Solonitsyn; he was in all my films, and I had an almost superstitious regard for him. The script of Nostalghia was written with him in mind, and it seems symbolic that the actor’s death as it were cut my life in two: the first part in Russia, the rest–all that has happened and will happen since I left Russia.” – Andrei Tarkovsky
