It Was The Man's Dream,

The Very Earliest People Who Made Film Were Magicians.

I Think It's Better To Be Overly Ambitious And Fail Than To Be Underambitious And Succeed In A Mundane Way. I Have Been Very Fortunate. I Failed Upward In My Life!

Anyone Who's Made Film And Knows About The Cinema Has A Lifelong Love Affair With The Experience. You Never Stop Learning About Film.

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.

I Like To Work In The Morning. I Like To Sometimes Go To A Place Where I'm All Alone Where I'm Not Going To Get A Phone Call Early That Hurts My Feelings, Because Once My Feelings Are Hurt, I'm Dead In The Water.
