Alessandra Martines Citations

“[Claude Lelouch] m’a toujours dit : «Madame, vous serez ma veuve!» Je l’ai épousé en croyant qu’il avait forcément appris quelque chose de la vie. Erreur totale: il se marie et fait des enfants comme on boit un verre d’eau! … Claude est un homme à l’ego surdimensionné. Comme il veut toujours rester maître des situations, il se comporte comme un dictateur et tout le monde se met au garde à vous et lui donne raison. Moi, au contraire, je lui ai toujours dit la vérité…”

On being awarded with L'Ordre national du Mérite (National Order of Merit) from Nicolas Sarkozy, as quoted in Alessandra Martines: Parigi premia il mio talento ma l'Italia spesso mi ignora http://www.corriere.it/spettacoli/08_agosto_26/matines_cavaliere_francia_costantini_df494be8-7337-11dd-95d1-00144f02aabc.shtml, Corriere della Sera, (8-26-2008). <br class="br">Variante: I am overjoyed, but I repeat: it is not my country which awards me.

“[Mi manca] il calore delle persone [italiane]: c’è una grande facilità nella comunicazione, mentre i francesi non sono così estroversi. D’altra parte, in Francia c’è una grande vivacità nel mondo del cinema: si producono almeno duecento film all’anno e le occasioni di lavoro sono moltissime. Purtroppo non c’è paragone col cinema italiano.”

“[Claude Lelouch] has always told me : "Madame, you shall be my widow!" I married him thinking that he had learned something from life. Big mistake: he gets married and sires children like he drinks a glass of water! … Claude is a man with an oversized ego. Just as he wishes to always be the master of the situation, he acts like a dictator and everyone has to agree with him. I, on the contrary, always told him the truth…”

“[I miss] the warmth of the [Italian] people: it is very easy to communicate with them, while the French are not such extroverts. On the other hand, there is a vibrant film industry in France: at least two hundred films are produced there, and the job opportunities are many. Unfortunately, the Italian film industry does not compare.”
