I Gladly, I Voluntarily Gave Up The Kind Of Commercial Film Career I Had Going As Soon As I Had Enough Money To Finance My Own Films.

I Have Much To Learn From My Daughter Sofia. Her Minimalism Exposes My Limitations: I'm Too Instinctive And Operatic, I Put Too Much Heart Into My Work, I Get Lost Sometimes In Bizarre Things - It's My Italian Heritage.

When I Was About 9, I Had Polio, And People Were Very Frightened For Their Children, So You Tended To Be Isolated. I Was Paralyzed For A While, So I Watched Television.

I've Been Failing For, Like, Ten Or Eleven Years. When It Turns, It'll Turn. Right Now I'm Just Trying To Squeeze Through A Very Tight Financial Period, Get The Movie Out, And Put My Things In Order.

I'm Very Proud Of My Flops, As Much As Of My Successes.
