I am a film director, and I work with a visual language, with a visual medium. And I try to make virtue of the use of this visual medium. And I try to make sure what I do speaks the language of cinema. - Luca Guadagnino

I think we shouldn't be shy of thinking that we can interpret text like a movie again, depending on the point of view and what we do with it more than anything else. Of course a lot of remakes of important films, particularly of horror films, they suck. - Luca Guadagnino

If you desire something, you don't have it. It is more interesting than enjoyment, because enjoyment erases the mysteries and the vision of desire.

I hate the concept of beauty for the sake of it. It is overrated. - Luca Guadagnino

I love to tell stories, but the making is less comfortable. I like to be private, and being in the middle of a film crew with the least amount of privacy is the discomfort of shooting a movie. For me, the editing is the great moment when I can bring back ideas and realize the movie for the last time before I hand it to the audience. - Luca Guadagnino

I'm incredibly inspired by the goofy edginess of teenagers and young people. -Luca Guadagnino

When you have great performers and have set your movie in the right direction, it's a beautiful privilege to let the camera watch the action unfold without spoken words. - Luca Guadagnino

My partnership with Gilardino works well and we can go far together. We've shown we're strong players. - Luca Toni
