When I Cook, My Brain Stops Completely.

My Philosophy Is Very Simple. To Feel Young, You Must Work As Long As You Can.

If You Lived In A Provincial Town Like Torre Annunziata, Where There Was Nothing To Do In The Evening But Go To The Movies With Your Friends, The Cinema Was A World Of Fantasy. I Had Always Been In Love With It.

After The War, There Was No Industry. We Lost The War. We Had Our Whole City Destroyed. No Money. No Studio. No Film. No Camera. No Equipment. We Would Shoot In The Street. We Had No Actors. Nothing. But We Wanted To Do Movies. And We Did The Best Movies In The World.

The Audience Wants To Be Attracted Not By The Critics, But By A Great Story. You Must Deliver To The Audience Emotion - And When I Say Emotion, I Mean Suspense, Drama, Love.

I Have Two Young Girls, 8 And 10. They Really Keep Me Young.
