"I never wanted to be an actress. I always wanted to be a writer. But I'm not Dostoievsky, y' know? So that's why I'm an actress."

Fant-Asia - August 2006 (Hong Kong)
Text: Simon Bowring
Uber-sexy, super cool and refreshingly intelligent are only a fraction of possible descriptions for Italian actress Asia Argento, in town shooting her latest film, Boarding Gate. She talks to Simon Bowring about tattoos, being tough and Andy Lau.
HK Mag: First things first. How does one pronounce your name?
AA: Ah-zee-ah, it’s a name my parents completely made up, although the name given on my passport is Aria, which is air in Italian.
HK Mag: So do you come to Asia often, in keeping with your namesake?
AA: Haha, no it’s pretty shameful; I’ve never been to Hong Kong before, and Japan is really the only other place in Asia I’ve been to. That said, I’ve really enjoyed what I’ve seen of Hong Kong so far and I think I prefer it to Tokyo. Life here feels more real, more anchored in reality, and the people seem less repressed and bottled-up.
HK Mag: You’ve been out a fair amount then?
AA: Well, sort of. On Saturday night I went to check out Soho and Lan Kwai Fong, but was disgusted by the sheer cleanliness and good hygiene of the place, and made my way down to Wanchai instead, which was much more my sort of thing. I’ve been around most of the city areas on the island and visited Tsim Sha Tsui the other day. I prefer Kowloon because it’s slightly dirtier and grittier, and you can get a far better understanding of what real Hong Kong is like. I’d prefer to sit on the edge of the sidewalk smoking a cigarette and watching people go about their lives than wander around a museum or shopping mall for two hours.
HKMag: So do people recognize you over here?
AA: Almost no one, which is refreshing; when I was having a drink in Wanchai, I told people I was a boxer, which is a sort of semi-truth.
HK Mag: Eh?
AA: I was a boxer until the age of 17, and it’s something I still love doing. I’ve also done a little ju-jitsu and wing chun, although I want to try out kickboxing in the future.
HK Mag: So you’re pretty tough then.
AA: [Giggles] Well often when I’m working with people they seem to have this preconception that I am some scary tough girl, which –although true to a certain extent –means that they adopt a certain attitude towards me. This then means I have to be even tougher inside. But I could probably hurt you.
HK Mag: What do you think about the movie industry here?
AA: Before I arrived I’d heard quite a bit about Andy Lau, and that he was quite a local heartthrob here. Actually the other night I had a dream in which we were doing a romantic scene on set, and eventually told the crew to f*** off. But it’s quite bizarre because I had this dream without properly knowing what he looked like.
HK Mag: Mm…very Zen. What makes you feel good or sexy?
AA: I’m a compulsive reader, I’ll read almost anything that I think look interesting, while extreme fatigue can make me feel sexy. That feeling of mutual emptiness and fullness after a lot of physical work such as boxing is very calming and pleasant. I also like knowing that I have the ability to overpower people much larger than me, it makes me feel strong, which in a way also makes me feel sexy, although a lot of people probably find it quite strange.
HK Mag: You have a tattoo that reads ‘23’ on your neck, what’s that about?
AA: It’s a number I’ve seen everywhere since I was a kid, then I realized people had written huge books on the subject. Go check it out on www.disinfo.com, it’s very cool.
