That kind of growth is definitely not sustainable. I think we're definitely going to see a slower rate of growth, rather than an actual decline, but I can't say when.

To me, the rate of growth was anticipated to a certain degree, but not to this degree.

Italian audiences identified with this kind of passing through a pain to reach a truth in yourself. I did not want to make a scandal about something. I wanted to explore the dark places in all of us, to understand how this kind of thing could happen. Every human being has basically a bad side and a good side. It's a contradiction: As adults, we can do the best thing in the world and love our children, or we can have an attraction to young bodies and do a bad thing. If you can see it, you can stop it, and decide to be a human being.

I do think the past changes at a slower rate. It sits a little more still for its portrait.

Slower growth in producer prices makes China's exports more competitive, which means the nominal exchange rate can be allowed to appreciate without hurting exporters.

If you think you're boring your audience, go slower not faster.
