00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:26,500

Hi. 

9
00:00:27,100 --> 00:00:30,300
Hi. 
I'm Isabella Rossellini Nick. 

10
00:00:33,300 --> 00:00:39,300
Hi, I'm willing to follow or the
other way around. 

11
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:41,100
We are actors so you'll never 
know. 

12
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:44,100
And this is the podcast for a 
24. 

13
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:49,800
Hey, how are you? 
I'm finding you good, where are 

14
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:51,800
you? 
So how many we York? 

15
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:55,000
I'm an outside Rome. 
That's a drone, that's what I 

16
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:58,900
thought too, because I can see 
on, Zoom the door behind you and

17
00:00:58,900 --> 00:01:03,500
I said that's not America. 
No, it's In fact, in fact, it's 

18
00:01:03,500 --> 00:01:07,400
an Indian daughter, actually. 
But so you could have been in 

19
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:09,000
India, but I thought he had to 
lie. 

20
00:01:09,300 --> 00:01:14,400
I could be in that league, but 
India, but I'm in and a 

21
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:21,000
decidedly Indian Decor Rome 
actually, yeah, so, so speak 

22
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:26,700
Italian by now Willam. 
You, do, I see polygon panel on 

23
00:01:26,700 --> 00:01:30,200
your Journal says, oh, really 
you see you taking lessons, or 

24
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:34,500
you just a little bit once? 
So, we can take a lesson, but I 

25
00:01:34,500 --> 00:01:36,100
read a little bit in the 
morning. 

26
00:01:36,700 --> 00:01:39,600
Well, the giant grammar is very 
complicated, but if it's of any 

27
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,400
consolation, we Italian make 
many mistakes. 

28
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,800
When we thought the song, the 
song, the verb. 

29
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,900
The verb is so difficult, so we 
make mistake. 

30
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,300
I know the verbs are killers. 
Yes, it's true. 

31
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:56,100
Recently, I found out, I can 
actually fight an Italian. 

32
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:59,200
You know, when I'm angry very, 
very good. 

33
00:01:59,300 --> 00:02:03,500
Sometimes those saying big words
in a different man, Pitcher it 

34
00:02:03,500 --> 00:02:08,600
allows you because sometimes 
when when I say well, we can't 

35
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:12,800
say it now because I don't know 
if it can be censored or not. 

36
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,900
This part of go ahead, but face 
a fuck in English. 

37
00:02:17,100 --> 00:02:22,200
It doesn't resonate in me as 
strong as a probably resonated 

38
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:26,000
to an American. 
So when I fight for it, when I 

39
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,300
fought with my husband, I often 
switch to Ink. 

40
00:02:29,300 --> 00:02:31,700
I felt. 
I was very violent in my 

41
00:02:31,700 --> 00:02:34,100
language. 
Jin English, but I couldn't be 

42
00:02:34,100 --> 00:02:38,800
abused the same strength in 
Italian because those words, hit

43
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:40,000
me. 
And then I thought, oh I don't 

44
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:45,400
want to be that that hard. 
So I'm sure you have you know, a

45
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,000
lot of bad words. 
Oh God. 

46
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:50,600
That's the first thing you 
learn. 

47
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:51,500
You know. 
Oh yes. 

48
00:02:51,500 --> 00:02:54,800
And in Italy. 
They elaborate they can invent 

49
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:55,900
new words. 
Yeah. 

50
00:02:56,300 --> 00:03:00,200
The other ridiculous thing is, 
of course, maybe it's partly 

51
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:04,200
because I'm an actor and I like 
Mimic things, but you learn 

52
00:03:04,500 --> 00:03:06,700
gestural language, you know? 
Yes. 

53
00:03:07,100 --> 00:03:09,900
So, anything, you know, I just 
felt somebody gave me a teeny 

54
00:03:09,900 --> 00:03:14,600
book with all the Italian 
gestures and it's wonderful. 

55
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:18,300
And some of it is references for
very long history of how they 

56
00:03:18,300 --> 00:03:20,200
came about. 
And I didn't know it. 

57
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:22,300
Of course, I do tell you a 
gesture, but I didn't know how 

58
00:03:22,300 --> 00:03:25,300
they came about and so much of 
the gestures. 

59
00:03:25,300 --> 00:03:28,500
Yeah, there was also used in the
commedia, dell'arte, in all 

60
00:03:28,500 --> 00:03:31,600
these improvised theater of 
Italy, where there was a little,

61
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:35,000
you know, They were character 
that were set and little bit of 

62
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:39,200
stories but all these gesture 
also came to make. 

63
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,000
And this you know, to make the 
audience understand what were 

64
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:46,100
the subtext of the character? 
I'll send it to you. 

65
00:03:46,100 --> 00:03:50,400
He'd be very interesting talk. 
They want you. 

66
00:03:50,900 --> 00:03:54,500
When you were living in Tribeca 
and I was living in Tribeca and 

67
00:03:54,500 --> 00:03:57,700
you were your I had your 
experimental theater, right? 

68
00:03:57,700 --> 00:04:00,400
The Wooster group. 
Yes, I was, I was with that 

69
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:05,200
company from many many years and
they, Still exist but because of

70
00:04:06,100 --> 00:04:11,900
various reasons I had to leave 
and but they still go, it's not 

71
00:04:11,900 --> 00:04:16,000
the same but that was a big part
of my life is that was part of 

72
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,100
your life. 
I remember, I remember, you 

73
00:04:19,100 --> 00:04:22,000
know, that was what maybe 40 
years ago. 

74
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:33,100
So I started in 77 and I stopped
in about 2003 or for So that's a

75
00:04:33,900 --> 00:04:36,100
long time, stretch. 
Yeah. 

76
00:04:36,100 --> 00:04:38,000
You missed it because you did 
that. 

77
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,900
But I know when I, you know, 
yeah, I've done theater. 

78
00:04:41,900 --> 00:04:45,900
I after, after I finished with 
the Wooster group, I worked with

79
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,400
three directors, that I love 
that very fortunate. 

80
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:54,300
I worked with Richard Foreman, 
who I've worked with before, who

81
00:04:54,300 --> 00:04:56,300
had a beautiful theater, that 
was in st. 

82
00:04:56,300 --> 00:04:59,900
Mark's church for a long time. 
It was a little chamber theater 

83
00:04:59,900 --> 00:05:02,800
called the unto ontological is 
Work together. 

84
00:05:03,300 --> 00:05:06,200
I loved working with him. 
I did a piece with him at the 

85
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,000
public, and then I worked with 
Bob Wilson, a couple of times, 

86
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:14,200
in fact, one time with 
Baryshnikov, which was a, which 

87
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:21,900
was based on a kind of a 
surrealist Rider Russian writer 

88
00:05:21,900 --> 00:05:26,500
named Daniel carms, and it was 
principally a movement piece, 

89
00:05:26,500 --> 00:05:29,500
which was great fun for me, 
because one of the beautiful 

90
00:05:29,500 --> 00:05:32,000
things about the fear of it and 
you weren't afraid. 

91
00:05:32,100 --> 00:05:35,500
Boarded in film, is you get to 
use your body so fully? 

92
00:05:36,300 --> 00:05:38,800
Yeah. 
So it was a, it was a, it was a,

93
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,600
it was a great piece because we 
played twins, we were dressed 

94
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,200
alike, and sometimes we'd mimic 
each other. 

95
00:05:44,300 --> 00:05:45,700
And that, that was a great 
experience. 

96
00:05:45,700 --> 00:05:50,100
And then also, I worked with 
this, great Italian, director 

97
00:05:50,100 --> 00:05:54,400
named, Romeo Custer Lucci, you 
know, his work, don't you know, 

98
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:58,100
I don't know his work because 
although I am Italian and I 

99
00:05:58,100 --> 00:06:01,400
often go to Italy, I have lived 
in America for 50 years. 

100
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:03,400
I do Cool. 
So much in Italy. 

101
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:06,600
I do go to visit my family or 
some friends lately. 

102
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:11,100
I pay more for the first time I 
made a film in Italy. 

103
00:06:11,700 --> 00:06:15,800
We tell each a rogue Wacker but 
generally, I do, yeah, yeah, 

104
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:17,600
yeah. 
Reaches very, very talented. 

105
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,700
But I don't know. 
For what reason, I don't really 

106
00:06:20,700 --> 00:06:24,300
work much in Italy. 
I work mostly in America and 

107
00:06:24,300 --> 00:06:27,000
France a lot, but not so much in
Italy. 

108
00:06:27,300 --> 00:06:30,200
When I asked why they say that, 
they feel that I'm a little bit 

109
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,000
of a hybrid. 
I'm not. 

110
00:06:32,100 --> 00:06:36,100
Not completely Italian because I
lived all my adult life abroad 

111
00:06:36,100 --> 00:06:39,100
and and but them and I'm 
Italian. 

112
00:06:39,100 --> 00:06:43,500
So they don't know how to place 
me and always had that problem. 

113
00:06:43,500 --> 00:06:47,500
You know that I could never be 
cast as a family because in 

114
00:06:47,500 --> 00:06:50,300
English I have an accent and all
of a sudden you say well why is 

115
00:06:50,300 --> 00:06:52,000
that sister speaking 
differently? 

116
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:54,800
So that was always an in 
Italian. 

117
00:06:54,900 --> 00:06:59,000
Although Italy Italian is my 
first language, but my mom was 

118
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,200
Swedish. 
She was the actress Ingrid 

119
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:05,500
Bergman and I Not in France. 
So even in Italian I don't have 

120
00:07:05,500 --> 00:07:11,100
an accent but I don't roll my 
ours, which is I say the French 

121
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:17,100
are so for example, my last name
is rosellini as for lucidly me 

122
00:07:17,100 --> 00:07:21,900
but in each added me would be 
rosellini brought some Aroma as 

123
00:07:21,900 --> 00:07:26,000
a home grown. 
So I have also can't it's not an

124
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:30,900
accent but I have some letters 
that I pronounced differently. 

125
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:36,800
You know, I recently for the 
first time dubbed myself and 

126
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:42,200
Italian now that is really hard.
Don't be very difficult hard and

127
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:46,600
I think dub it because you lose 
a lot of lose you lose tone, you

128
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,000
lose breath. 
And the Italians are very proud 

129
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,900
of their job in quite variable. 
It's terrible. 

130
00:07:51,900 --> 00:07:56,300
I, I prefer subtitles any day. 
Even though there's a feeling of

131
00:07:56,300 --> 00:08:00,300
reduction of the text and all 
that it you into it a lot just 

132
00:08:00,300 --> 00:08:05,700
by the tonal, And that the 
breath and sometimes even the 

133
00:08:05,700 --> 00:08:08,600
accent, even if you understand, 
don't understand the word, it's 

134
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:12,600
music, you know? 
But I did it and it was very 

135
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:16,900
difficult and we got it to an 
okay place I thought but then I 

136
00:08:16,900 --> 00:08:19,900
couldn't resist because I was 
kind of curious because it was a

137
00:08:19,900 --> 00:08:24,400
release for it was the film that
a shot with Abel Ferrara who 

138
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:28,100
I've worked with a lot in Italy.
But for the video release, it 

139
00:08:28,100 --> 00:08:30,100
was dubbed. 
And so I was curious. 

140
00:08:30,100 --> 00:08:34,299
So I went online to see See like
the Triangular dubbed. 

141
00:08:34,500 --> 00:08:38,700
Anyone that has any interest in 
following me, they're used to 

142
00:08:38,708 --> 00:08:42,500
hearing the dubbed in another 
language in an inadvertent avoid

143
00:08:42,900 --> 00:08:46,300
voice. 
So it was disturbing to hear my 

144
00:08:46,300 --> 00:08:50,300
voice in Italian and I played a 
foreigner so I could have an 

145
00:08:50,300 --> 00:08:53,900
accent still. 
It wasn't that you mentioned. 

146
00:08:53,900 --> 00:08:57,300
That it also be. 
The reason why I don't work so 

147
00:08:57,300 --> 00:09:01,700
much in Italy because I am known
because also my parents were 

148
00:09:01,700 --> 00:09:06,200
very Known and all that. 
But but and they know my voice 

149
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:08,200
because I've worked on 
television in Italy. 

150
00:09:08,700 --> 00:09:11,500
I don't up my film because I 
found it so different. 

151
00:09:11,500 --> 00:09:16,000
So just to explain if somebody 
did, here's his podcast in 

152
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,300
Italy. 
All the films that are foreign 

153
00:09:18,500 --> 00:09:22,700
not subtitle but they are dubbed
and often these people that 

154
00:09:22,700 --> 00:09:26,700
dubbed the film are very known 
in Italy and very revered, but 

155
00:09:26,700 --> 00:09:30,500
you might have Robert De Niro 
and Al Pacino and Dustin Hoffman

156
00:09:30,500 --> 00:09:33,200
have saying Perce. 
First and dubbing them. 

157
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:38,300
So the voice is gone is a 
fantastic interpretation of what

158
00:09:38,300 --> 00:09:42,700
they do, but it is not, it 
doesn't make the person it does.

159
00:09:42,700 --> 00:09:46,800
You don't identify actors Friday
voices, especially foreign 

160
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:49,100
actors. 
But Fellini said something 

161
00:09:49,100 --> 00:09:52,200
interesting because, you know, 
in America, everybody was so 

162
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:57,600
shocked about Italian dubbing I 
actors, and believe he said, 

163
00:09:57,700 --> 00:10:00,700
when it was, it was, it worked 
with my father in a new him, 

164
00:10:00,700 --> 00:10:03,400
riddles, a little girl. 
That, I don't understand it, you

165
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:07,000
know, but I can create a whole 
character by using dubbing 

166
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:12,000
because I can take a very big 
man and have a little girl, the 

167
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:13,900
beam. 
And there you have, you have a 

168
00:10:13,908 --> 00:10:16,600
character that immediately 
stank, but he was a 

169
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:19,200
caricaturist. 
He made a lot of drawing with 

170
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:22,400
caricature. 
And so, I understand that use of

171
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:27,700
you can create a person, or you 
create a character, but I find 

172
00:10:27,700 --> 00:10:31,100
it when I grew up in it I went 
to see all the film does 

173
00:10:31,100 --> 00:10:34,900
including my mom Um, Ingrid 
Bergman Casablanca notorious. 

174
00:10:34,900 --> 00:10:39,000
I see the mold up at first and 
he didn't disturb me, but now 

175
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:42,300
that I hear the original, I have
a hard time hearing films that 

176
00:10:42,300 --> 00:10:43,700
are dubbed. 
Sure. 

177
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:48,600
I, when you're talking about the
same voice for Dustin Hoffman 

178
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:52,300
and Al Pacino, and Robert De 
Niro famously, this this movie 

179
00:10:52,300 --> 00:10:57,300
Heat and the Niro and Pacino had
Saints together and they were in

180
00:10:57,300 --> 00:11:00,500
crisis, because they have the 
same voice in Italian. 

181
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:03,200
So when it was released Standard
Italy. 

182
00:11:03,500 --> 00:11:05,600
It had. 
A lot of trouble finding 

183
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:09,600
commercial traction even though 
they were wildly popular actor. 

184
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:13,600
It's because people confuse that
one of them did not have their 

185
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:18,000
regular voice, pretty strange. 
You strange just one second 

186
00:11:18,100 --> 00:11:22,000
because I'd put something in the
oven, but I want to turn it. 

187
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:23,800
I don't want to burn my lung. 
What is it? 

188
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:27,000
What is it? 
Okay, pal, me Jonah. 

189
00:11:27,300 --> 00:11:31,700
Okay. 
And it just felt like something 

190
00:11:31,700 --> 00:11:34,800
was burned. 
Okay, it's okay Willam. 

191
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:38,300
You've worked with so many 
directors. 

192
00:11:39,100 --> 00:11:42,100
Can I'm going to list a few 
because I don't think there is 

193
00:11:42,100 --> 00:11:44,200
anybody who work with so many 
directors. 

194
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:49,900
If you have Scorsese, a Wes 
Anderson lost won't hear, Tony 

195
00:11:49,900 --> 00:11:53,300
Scott, Oliver Stone, David 
Lynch, Paul Schrader beam 

196
00:11:53,300 --> 00:11:58,600
vendors, Julian, Schnabel Abel, 
Ferrara, of course, David 

197
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:02,000
cronenberg's Spike Lee, In sales
and get Oculus. 

198
00:12:02,100 --> 00:12:04,400
I mean, amazing. 
I don't think there is anybody 

199
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:07,700
who has worked with so many 
different directors, and 

200
00:12:07,700 --> 00:12:11,800
sometimes you work with servants
and films with the same director

201
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:13,900
writer, director is very 
important to me. 

202
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:17,500
I love a strong director because
I feel like then I can relax and

203
00:12:17,500 --> 00:12:20,000
really give myself to the 
project. 

204
00:12:20,100 --> 00:12:24,400
I don't, I don't worry, I feel 
much free, but I appreciate that

205
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:28,100
because if I'm left to my own 
devices, I'm sure I go to the 

206
00:12:28,100 --> 00:12:32,500
same, well, all the time. 
It takes a certain kind of 

207
00:12:32,500 --> 00:12:38,000
intervention or certain kind of 
discipline to be open each time 

208
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:39,800
to kind of recreate your 
process. 

209
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,200
And I think that's very 
important, and of course, 

210
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:46,200
there's some go to things, are 
there some Tendencies you have, 

211
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:49,600
but I always find it most 
rewarding if I could, that's 

212
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:53,200
kind of taken away from me. 
If I know why I'm doing a 

213
00:12:53,208 --> 00:12:55,800
project then I don't worry about
the result. 

214
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:59,700
If I like the people, if I like 
their work, if it inspires vase 

215
00:12:59,700 --> 00:13:04,700
inspire That I try to be there 
for them and that frees me 

216
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:08,400
ultimately it's a selfish goal 
of because then I feel like I do

217
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:12,700
my best work that way but the 
truth is, if you go towards 

218
00:13:12,700 --> 00:13:17,000
someone else's Vision that's not
yours, it makes you Freer, I 

219
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:23,900
think so you want someone there,
really strong and personal view 

220
00:13:23,900 --> 00:13:26,900
of things. 
You don't just want to stylist, 

221
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,400
then you're kind of 
interchangeable and then it kind

222
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:32,600
of becomes a crash. 
Again, you want to get in their 

223
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:36,600
head and try to complete the 
world that they create. 

224
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,200
I mean, look, something as 
simple as. 

225
00:13:39,500 --> 00:13:43,900
When we both worked with David 
Lynch on, you worked with him on

226
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:46,900
copy with frostbite, get Hearts,
it, digitally. 

227
00:13:46,900 --> 00:13:48,900
What about Wild at Heart? 
We did together. 

228
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:53,700
And I remembered that was like 
the, there's a logic, we were 

229
00:13:53,700 --> 00:13:57,400
there, too. 
It's a complete that world. 

230
00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:01,500
Yes, II to for me. 
Working with different 

231
00:14:01,500 --> 00:14:05,500
directors. 
If they have a brilliant mind 

232
00:14:05,500 --> 00:14:09,900
and if the you know you just, I 
would say to enter into their 

233
00:14:09,900 --> 00:14:13,700
brain is like taking it to 
re-stick trip into some batters 

234
00:14:13,700 --> 00:14:18,700
one person intelligence and I 
also the most satisfactory is 

235
00:14:18,700 --> 00:14:22,700
when you can make their idea 
come more alive. 

236
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,800
So that instead of saying, I see
the character like this and 

237
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:30,000
fight it, you say no, okay. 
What are you see and you search 

238
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:32,900
with Them. 
Because sometimes the ideas, 

239
00:14:33,100 --> 00:14:36,400
David used to say to me, 
sometimes he dies is like, thin 

240
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:37,700
eyes. 
I know it's right. 

241
00:14:37,700 --> 00:14:42,000
But I need and I mean, David 
directs like this, you know, it 

242
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:45,600
doesn't really verbalize what he
wants, but he you showed you 

243
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:49,900
strata scene with some mood and 
you can see from his face, if 

244
00:14:49,900 --> 00:14:54,200
he's happy or not and if he 
smiles and he's very happy, go 

245
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:58,200
more in that direction and it's 
a back and forth until, you 

246
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:00,300
know, it shaped the scene is 
shaped. 

247
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:02,900
It. 
And that to me, I like that 

248
00:15:02,900 --> 00:15:05,600
process. 
I like the process of making 

249
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:09,000
feminine very much because he's 
a collector estimator. 

250
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:13,600
I and personally, that's always 
more interesting than the film. 

251
00:15:15,500 --> 00:15:17,300
Yes. 
Or when the film comes out 

252
00:15:17,300 --> 00:15:19,500
people think. 
I mean sometimes I said the best

253
00:15:19,500 --> 00:15:23,100
room is the one that we don't 
have to present to the press and

254
00:15:23,100 --> 00:15:28,000
have all the reviews and read 
all the bad reviews and the red 

255
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,300
carpets, it means to me is 
really the process. 

256
00:15:30,500 --> 00:15:34,700
It's not so much the release 
when the films are released. 

257
00:15:34,700 --> 00:15:37,800
Of course, we have to be 
released and we want them to be 

258
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:40,000
successor. 
But that is the part that I like

259
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:41,900
the least. 
Yeah, I agree. 

260
00:15:41,900 --> 00:15:45,400
But I like that fine too, 
because it's so connected to, 

261
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:49,100
you know, doing more and getting
the film out there and I'm down 

262
00:15:49,100 --> 00:15:52,300
with that, I guess. 
I feel more like I love the 

263
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:57,800
adventure of making a film and 
and it's probably why I'm not a 

264
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:00,300
director. 
I think you have to let a low. 

265
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:04,500
Responsibility. 
Go about where you're going, you

266
00:16:04,500 --> 00:16:07,200
know what, the film's going to 
be, and you have to just be 

267
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:09,100
there to receive what's going 
on. 

268
00:16:09,700 --> 00:16:13,300
And if you can get that place 
and you can have the right 

269
00:16:13,500 --> 00:16:17,700
situation and whether it's an 
exotic thing or something very 

270
00:16:17,700 --> 00:16:20,900
close to you, whatever it is. 
It's a good way to live. 

271
00:16:20,900 --> 00:16:25,300
It's stimulating and it feels 
useful because you're working 

272
00:16:25,300 --> 00:16:30,300
with the team to make something 
that's either going to inspire 

273
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:35,000
Them or distract them or make 
them laugh or something. 

274
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:38,200
So, you know, I'm happy as a 
clam when I'm working. 

275
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:40,300
Yeah, me, too. 
I like that. 

276
00:16:40,500 --> 00:16:45,000
Do you find yourself happier to 
work with some director? 

277
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:49,000
And some were more difficult 
where some of the research to 

278
00:16:49,100 --> 00:16:52,600
express, what they were looking 
for, was more difficult than 

279
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:55,100
others? 
I would imagine, I think so. 

280
00:16:55,100 --> 00:16:58,500
I I always get scared when an 
actor that when I director 

281
00:16:58,500 --> 00:17:00,000
thinks, he knows what the 
actors. 

282
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:06,300
Jesse's and tries to speak 
actors language, because like, 

283
00:17:06,599 --> 00:17:10,599
you know, everyone's different 
and you I've met, I've worked 

284
00:17:10,599 --> 00:17:13,900
with some directors. 
I'm sure you have to wear, you 

285
00:17:13,900 --> 00:17:16,700
know, the smart enough to note 
that they have to deal with 

286
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:20,300
every actor differently 
particular in the state, but not

287
00:17:20,300 --> 00:17:23,800
just in the States. 
But, you know, beautiful thing 

288
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:29,400
about film is there isn't a 
cookie cutter education for it. 

289
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:34,200
So sometimes you Working with 
people that used to be models or

290
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:38,800
people that used to be a cook or
someone that was a driver, you 

291
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:40,300
know? 
It's a mixed bag. 

292
00:17:40,300 --> 00:17:43,400
Some are classically trained, 
summer, theater actors. 

293
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:48,400
It's a mixed bag and everybody, 
there's no uniform system, so 

294
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:53,900
you have to treat everybody. 
Kind of see what they need and 

295
00:17:53,900 --> 00:17:58,000
see what you need. 
And it's a nice social meeting 

296
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:01,500
every time, I think you've got 
Such an interesting career. 

297
00:18:01,500 --> 00:18:04,900
Last time I saw you you know, 
you would it's a long time ago, 

298
00:18:04,900 --> 00:18:06,600
actually. 
I probably seen you since but I 

299
00:18:06,608 --> 00:18:11,000
mean last time I saw you at like
a screening or something of 

300
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:18,100
something. 
You did was green porno director

301
00:18:18,100 --> 00:18:24,400
myself now. 
And also also, you always 

302
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:28,100
surprise me by the choices you 
make and they're so different 

303
00:18:28,100 --> 00:18:31,100
and so eclectic. 
And I like it a lot. 

304
00:18:31,100 --> 00:18:35,100
I don't catch everything, but 
I'm always happy to see you. 

305
00:18:35,100 --> 00:18:40,400
And, I'm always personally. 
I've said it before, and I don't

306
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:45,000
want to embarrass you, but your 
maybe it's your upbringing, but 

307
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:48,800
you're so elegant and So 
Graceful, So Graceful. 

308
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:52,600
So Graceful with people 
socially, I think and a lot of 

309
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:56,700
actors don't have that quality 
because they're scared, and 

310
00:18:56,700 --> 00:19:02,300
they're, and they're wrong. 
Worried about offending. 

311
00:19:02,300 --> 00:19:04,200
People are speaking their mind, 
you know. 

312
00:19:04,900 --> 00:19:09,200
Yes, actors are generally. 
I mean, it's hard to generalized

313
00:19:09,500 --> 00:19:15,600
but actors shy, surprisingly, 
most people are very shy, I 

314
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:19,000
mean, my mom for example. 
She said, always, she wasn't she

315
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:24,300
was a very shy person and acting
because she wasn't herself. 

316
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:28,300
She felt when I'm on stage or on
the film said I feel like a lion

317
00:19:28,700 --> 00:19:32,900
and also Knowing the story. 
She always said, I'm always 

318
00:19:32,900 --> 00:19:37,200
anxious about life but in a film
I know what is the tech scene 

319
00:19:37,500 --> 00:19:40,000
and I know what the character is
ending up. 

320
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:43,000
And so that was so in the moment
it, she was acting, she felt 

321
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:48,800
agreed to release, you know, a 
great freedom, and happiness. 

322
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:55,200
I'm not as shy as my mom and but
I think I had I'm a raconteur. 

323
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:59,500
So I like to tell stories and I 
like to work with directors, me 

324
00:19:59,500 --> 00:20:01,600
too. 
These very, very important to, 

325
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:06,300
you know, when I sometimes I 
read a script but most of all I 

326
00:20:06,308 --> 00:20:09,900
want to know who's going to 
direct and sometimes a script is

327
00:20:09,900 --> 00:20:12,500
just a vague indication of 
something. 

328
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:18,800
But if I meet the person or seen
the work that I've done before, 

329
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:23,500
that's what I want to work with.
I have to tell you a story about

330
00:20:23,500 --> 00:20:28,400
Bob Wilson, was I work with Bob 
to so Bob Wilson proposed to me.

331
00:20:29,100 --> 00:20:36,100
At play by Umberto Eco, and I 
read the script, I didn't 

332
00:20:36,100 --> 00:20:40,600
understand anything. 
So I read the book, I'm back to 

333
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:42,800
Waco. 
I didn't understand anything. 

334
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:46,800
So I went with, I said, I have 
to have the courage to Bob wants

335
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:49,100
it that way. 
Exactly, you know him. 

336
00:20:49,500 --> 00:20:55,400
So I went to Trembling saying, 
Bob, I I want to work with you 

337
00:20:55,400 --> 00:21:00,000
so badly, and I was so happy 
that you Ask me to do this thing

338
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:02,500
that I have to be really 
sincere. 

339
00:21:02,700 --> 00:21:05,200
I don't understand the script 
and I read the book and I don't 

340
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:08,800
understand the book. 
He said me neither, you don't 

341
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:11,300
understand it. 
You said we course. 

342
00:21:11,500 --> 00:21:14,900
I don't understand it because 
I'm attracted to mystery, but 

343
00:21:14,900 --> 00:21:17,800
there is a rhythm in the world 
words, isn't it? 

344
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,200
And when you read you back 
Touareg, do you doesn't really 

345
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,500
make sense. 
But your little scared. 

346
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:25,500
I said, yes, I am a little 
scared, that's what I want to 

347
00:21:25,500 --> 00:21:28,300
capture and that to me, was such
a lesson. 

348
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:32,200
First of all, Only freed me from
this narrative that it has to 

349
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:38,200
always make sense because 
abstract, paintings exist, it's 

350
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:42,600
not only figurative painting. 
So a film can also be abstract 

351
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:47,500
and he's to mood that you look 
and David Lynch to talk about 

352
00:21:47,500 --> 00:21:52,000
another surrealist one day where
I said, well maybe here to film 

353
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,000
is not, I don't understand the 
story. 

354
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:56,200
He said, why do you understand 
life? 

355
00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:01,200
So also for David, it was 
capturing the mood, we don't 

356
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:03,600
understand life. 
We enter into a room and there 

357
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:06,600
is already a mood of people are 
convivial up. 

358
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:10,000
There is tension. 
We don't know, we just adapt but

359
00:22:10,300 --> 00:22:13,400
we don't know what's going on or
what had happened before, and 

360
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:16,600
that's what is interesting to 
David and that was to me. 

361
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:20,200
So liberating, when you work 
with directors like that, I 

362
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:24,700
agree in both those cases, Bob 
Bob Wilson is famous for saying 

363
00:22:25,100 --> 00:22:28,600
I never asked him a To know what
he's thinking. 

364
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:30,700
That's not really what he's 
interested in. 

365
00:22:31,100 --> 00:22:35,700
You want some actor to submit to
his form to his language? 

366
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:38,700
You know you're like a 
marvelous. 

367
00:22:38,700 --> 00:22:44,900
Marionette is the Bishops of 
when you have that form you can 

368
00:22:44,900 --> 00:22:49,000
live and you can explore what's 
going on in a very deep way 

369
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:53,900
because a part of your brain and
a part of your energy isn't is 

370
00:22:54,300 --> 00:22:58,500
submitted to a kind of 
perfection and also 

371
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:03,800
artificiality that creates 
sometimes a mystery. 

372
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:09,700
And the question it isn't always
narrative that you can hop on 

373
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:14,900
and then you can be emotionally 
engaged but then the story ends 

374
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:18,700
and you relate to it and it's 
complete and you feel good. 

375
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:23,300
But I think in many ways I'm 
interested in more poetic 

376
00:23:23,300 --> 00:23:28,200
theater and a more poetic film 
that S, it engages you, but 

377
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:35,000
engages you through your brain 
because when you, when things 

378
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:39,100
are puzzling or things are 
curious, you don't know. 

379
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:44,000
And ultimately, they involve you
more emotionally in the end, I 

380
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:49,200
think, because when things are 
recognizable, it's a beautiful 

381
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:51,800
fun thing. 
But you hop on a train and you 

382
00:23:51,808 --> 00:23:56,000
kind of enjoy the ride, but 
you're not going step by step 

383
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,200
you. 
Variance in it and same way that

384
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:02,700
your experience, poetry, poetry,
you know, poetry, and in the 

385
00:24:02,700 --> 00:24:07,800
broadest sense of the word in 
poetry also, by its Nature has 

386
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:10,100
always an ambiguity that life 
has. 

387
00:24:10,500 --> 00:24:12,400
Do I like this? 
But I don't like that. 

388
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:16,100
I like it and don't like, you 
know, but that ambiguity is to 

389
00:24:16,100 --> 00:24:19,500
get is the brain that it's, for 
me animals, make me laugh. 

390
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:22,100
So I'm looking at David 
Attenborough, look at National 

391
00:24:22,100 --> 00:24:24,700
Geographic, and it's great, but 
it exists already. 

392
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:29,600
So when I wanted to Spread. 
Something that was in my heart. 

393
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:36,000
I said, it's the animal are so 
funny and so mysterious and so 

394
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:39,000
crazy. 
And so I created a free will. 

395
00:24:39,300 --> 00:24:44,300
Yes, I created this little 
Puppet Theater with myself that 

396
00:24:44,300 --> 00:24:47,800
I think captures do humor and 
it's always give the 

397
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:50,800
scientifically because not only 
that, I even went back to 

398
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:53,600
University to get a master 
degree in animal behavior and 

399
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:57,100
conservation, because the 
subject interests are Much. 

400
00:24:57,900 --> 00:25:02,800
And I have to say that having 
worked with many other directors

401
00:25:03,100 --> 00:25:05,700
or do I make these teeny film 
and his monologues? 

402
00:25:05,700 --> 00:25:08,900
You know, I can't compare myself
to the greatest, it's always 

403
00:25:08,900 --> 00:25:13,100
starts from a point of poetry, 
it always starts from a feeling 

404
00:25:13,100 --> 00:25:17,500
that I have and I want to share 
and the style that I make the 

405
00:25:17,500 --> 00:25:20,300
film. 
It's a consequence of it to 

406
00:25:20,300 --> 00:25:23,500
represent the best. 
The feeling in ever starts with 

407
00:25:23,500 --> 00:25:26,500
the style and then goes into the
feeling. 

408
00:25:28,300 --> 00:25:31,300
At least for me you do know I'm 
with you. 

409
00:25:31,500 --> 00:25:33,900
I'm with you can we talk about 
Abel Ferrara? 

410
00:25:33,900 --> 00:25:38,400
How easy he was the craziest 
director I've worked with, is he

411
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:43,500
behaving more is he tamed and 
you tamed him really you know, 

412
00:25:43,500 --> 00:25:49,700
he's got a hide, his habits 
turn, his character are very 

413
00:25:49,700 --> 00:25:53,700
Forefront so to talk about him 
is never gossiping, I guess, 

414
00:25:53,700 --> 00:25:57,600
because he lays it all out 
there, I worked with Abel. 

415
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:02,100
You know when he had when he was
living a certain kind of life 

416
00:26:02,500 --> 00:26:08,200
and then I've worked with him 
since he's cleaned up his life 

417
00:26:08,500 --> 00:26:12,500
and he's basically the same 
person. 

418
00:26:13,900 --> 00:26:17,600
It's very good lesson. 
What is it is actually is 

419
00:26:18,500 --> 00:26:20,500
basically the same person I'd 
say. 

420
00:26:20,500 --> 00:26:25,600
Just there's a trust there, you 
know, when someone is addicted. 

421
00:26:26,900 --> 00:26:29,700
They have a God that always 
separates, you know, you from 

422
00:26:29,700 --> 00:26:32,700
them particularly when you're 
working on something and he 

423
00:26:32,700 --> 00:26:36,200
says, I got to go, you guys do 
the same, I'll be back. 

424
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:42,300
That's a problem, but there's 
none of that anymore. 

425
00:26:42,300 --> 00:26:49,300
He's, you know, he's living, 
he's my neighbor here in the 

426
00:26:49,300 --> 00:26:53,500
city in Rome and we're very good
friends and we've made many 

427
00:26:53,500 --> 00:26:56,800
films together. 
He's made to lately. 

428
00:26:57,200 --> 00:27:04,100
Very quickly without me bastard 
but no actually we keep in 

429
00:27:04,100 --> 00:27:07,900
touch. 
I was busy and he he he's one of

430
00:27:07,900 --> 00:27:09,300
the beautiful things about the 
table. 

431
00:27:09,300 --> 00:27:13,000
Is he works with nothing and he 
likes to make movies. 

432
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:17,100
He's a shooter. 
So he absolutely said he's our 

433
00:27:17,100 --> 00:27:23,500
best quality, he's always 
working and He's his sets are 

434
00:27:23,500 --> 00:27:25,800
wild. 
They're chaotic is hell. 

435
00:27:26,300 --> 00:27:30,100
And one of the most difficult 
things to do in post is to 

436
00:27:30,100 --> 00:27:34,500
remove his voice from the 
shooting because even when 

437
00:27:34,500 --> 00:27:38,600
you're shooting like the most 
intimate, most vulnerable, you 

438
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:42,000
know, sex scene or something, 
he's screaming the whole 

439
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:45,600
talking, so it's like a 
discipline. 

440
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:50,000
He's screaming directions. 
Sometimes, I have to say that I 

441
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:51,700
didn't know, sorry, I didn't 
know. 

442
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:55,400
When I did, I did with him a 
film that is very beautiful. 

443
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:57,500
I really liked. 
I remember on the railroad. 

444
00:27:57,700 --> 00:27:59,100
Yeah. 
Yeah, I know. 

445
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:04,600
And I also love to work with 
Abel it was very chaotic and I 

446
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:09,200
really didn't know because most 
film is action cut and then you 

447
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:11,400
know where you're seeing is on. 
I didn't know. 

448
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:14,600
It is so much chaotic that I 
just stay in character all the 

449
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:18,500
time because I didn't know and 
there was a lot of improvisation

450
00:28:18,500 --> 00:28:21,800
of little dialogue, but even in 
these scales, there was a A 

451
00:28:21,808 --> 00:28:24,400
Clarity of his Direction, 
really? 

452
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:28,100
What you wanted to capture? 
I really admired him but you 

453
00:28:28,100 --> 00:28:33,900
know talking about addiction 
because I mean it's no secret 

454
00:28:33,900 --> 00:28:38,000
that they that then that Abel 
had the problem in his now 

455
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:42,300
solving it I will treat any 
stopper in blue velvet and 

456
00:28:42,300 --> 00:28:47,500
Dennis had just come out of 
rehab for three years and I 

457
00:28:47,500 --> 00:28:51,600
remember I had been already 
hired in blue velvet and David 

458
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:57,300
It was looking for the character
of that Dennis Hopper played in 

459
00:28:57,300 --> 00:29:01,000
blue velvet. 
And when he found Dennis Hopper 

460
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:04,000
said, oh, Dennis Hopper, because
of course he had the worst 

461
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:09,900
reputation in the business. 
I said how easy and David said, 

462
00:29:10,100 --> 00:29:13,900
is life, sitting next to a 
ticking bomb, that's how he 

463
00:29:13,900 --> 00:29:19,200
described. 
But actually he worked with 

464
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:23,700
working with him, it was one of 
the most A profound experience 

465
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:27,600
inside the had because Danny's 
had no more judgement he had 

466
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:33,300
been so down on himself and he 
had experienced really hell and 

467
00:29:33,300 --> 00:29:37,000
came out of it that working with
him and he's very difficult 

468
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:41,000
scenes of rape and all that he 
was the perfect partner. 

469
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:45,700
I felt completely protected by 
him as a human being that he was

470
00:29:45,700 --> 00:29:48,000
playing this evil man that was 
deserve. 

471
00:29:48,500 --> 00:29:51,600
Raping me in at Richwood High. 
Remember character energy? 

472
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:57,300
Music way it may, I ask him. 
How did you end up being a drug 

473
00:29:57,300 --> 00:29:59,500
addict and having to come out of
it? 

474
00:29:59,900 --> 00:30:04,500
And he said, you know, maybe it 
was the 60s drugs over around 

475
00:30:04,500 --> 00:30:07,700
and all that. 
But I believed for a long time 

476
00:30:07,700 --> 00:30:12,000
that I needed to drugs in order 
to act because I was so shy and 

477
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:15,500
so intimidated as so afraid that
I wasn't good enough, they do 

478
00:30:15,500 --> 00:30:20,000
draw gave me that confidence and
this is the first film that I do

479
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:24,800
completely clean. 
And And it was so happy to work 

480
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:28,700
so well and the film went so 
well, and he got so much, 

481
00:30:28,700 --> 00:30:30,300
praise. 
So yeah. 

482
00:30:30,300 --> 00:30:32,800
Sometimes the people they go 
through that Journey. 

483
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:38,800
The most wise is in it. 
I'm hesitant to say, but because

484
00:30:39,100 --> 00:30:42,600
it's, I always disliked when 
actors talk about what a should 

485
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:45,400
have, could have kind of 
stories, but do you know, I was 

486
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:50,300
at the gulf Western Building and
they told me to go up to dino De

487
00:30:50,300 --> 00:30:55,600
Laurentiis his office Meet him. 
And that's where I first met 

488
00:30:55,700 --> 00:31:01,300
David. 
And they had me read blue velvet

489
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:07,900
and they said basically we think
we've got a frankbooth roll 

490
00:31:07,900 --> 00:31:13,700
cast, but we're not sure. 
Because he could, you could have

491
00:31:13,700 --> 00:31:15,900
played because you often play a 
villain. 

492
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:18,500
So they were going to, you are 
going to do the Dennis Hopper 

493
00:31:18,500 --> 00:31:21,100
room, what happened? 
Don't dance. 

494
00:31:21,100 --> 00:31:25,300
I don't say that it was like, 
clearly, they probably were a 

495
00:31:25,300 --> 00:31:28,300
little nervous about their nests
or the deal wasn't done, and 

496
00:31:28,300 --> 00:31:30,700
they wanted to have someone 
waiting in the wings. 

497
00:31:30,700 --> 00:31:35,500
Well, I, you know, I met David 
Lynch in a restaurant and I was 

498
00:31:35,500 --> 00:31:40,300
having dinner with, you know, De
Laurentiis wife who died 

499
00:31:40,300 --> 00:31:43,600
recently has done such 
Wonderful, lady and another 

500
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:46,600
friend. 
And David was sitting in a table

501
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:52,200
in the same restaurant with one 
of Dino De Laurentiis 

502
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:54,600
son-in-law. 
So we joined the table, we all 

503
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:59,500
said together and I didn't know 
David had not, I mean he had 

504
00:31:59,500 --> 00:32:04,300
done Elephant Man, maybe I 
forgot but it wasn't as normal. 

505
00:32:04,300 --> 00:32:08,800
Of course as now and I had just 
finished a film, but I also work

506
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:11,700
with Misha Baryshnikov in a film
called White Nights. 

507
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:15,500
And the other actress was Helen 
Mirren, and then the greater 

508
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:19,900
Gregory Hines and David wanted 
so badly to have Helen Mirren 

509
00:32:19,900 --> 00:32:22,200
for Bluebell fit. 
For the role that I ended up 

510
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:25,400
playing and all the night, he 
tormented me about. 

511
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:27,600
Can't do you have Helen mirren's
phone number? 

512
00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:35,400
Can you give it to me dr. 
And and the next day and hasn't 

513
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:37,700
turned down the film because the
film of course is very 

514
00:32:37,700 --> 00:32:41,800
controversial and she was she 
didn't want to be part of I 

515
00:32:41,900 --> 00:32:45,300
think it's gone traversed, so 
that require nudity and all 

516
00:32:45,300 --> 00:32:47,900
that. 
So that is rising because she's 

517
00:32:47,900 --> 00:32:50,400
famous for being able to deal 
with that. 

518
00:32:50,700 --> 00:32:55,300
I think the way she explained it
to me because over the next day 

519
00:32:55,300 --> 00:33:00,000
after dinner, I received sorry 
and David, a note saying, second

520
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:02,200
thought, maybe you can play 
Dorothy balance. 

521
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:03,500
That's the name of the 
character. 

522
00:33:03,700 --> 00:33:07,500
So then we either I rehearse to 
scene and we so and then spoke 

523
00:33:07,500 --> 00:33:09,600
to Helen and I said, why did you
turn it down? 

524
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:13,800
But Helen said, no, it is the It
is right now this moment in my 

525
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:20,000
life because her husband was 
getting a divorce to marry her 

526
00:33:20,300 --> 00:33:24,100
and she didn't want to be in 
that moment of divorce and 

527
00:33:24,100 --> 00:33:27,200
complication her children in a 
controversial film. 

528
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:32,500
So and then nobody could have 
predicted that you velvet became

529
00:33:32,500 --> 00:33:35,600
so known know, it's a beautiful 
film. 

530
00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:37,600
And who would have ever thought 
that? 

531
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:41,000
It wasn't totally conceived 
around you D. 

532
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:44,300
Be told me, I He was conceived 
around Helen Mirren. 

533
00:33:44,500 --> 00:33:49,200
David told me that one day when 
he came back from school, he saw

534
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:54,300
a woman naked walking down to 
Street and he started to cry as 

535
00:33:54,300 --> 00:33:56,900
he understood that something 
very wrong at happened. 

536
00:33:57,100 --> 00:33:59,500
It wasn't excited, he wasn't 
titillating. 

537
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:04,400
And that was to image that 
fragment that sometimes director

538
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:07,000
grabs with and creates a 
character. 

539
00:34:07,500 --> 00:34:10,100
And I think that that was the 
fragment that inspired the 

540
00:34:10,100 --> 00:34:12,900
character of Dorothy balance. 
What happened, what was the 

541
00:34:12,900 --> 00:34:16,100
story behind this woman? 
Walked naked industry. 

542
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:18,400
She can't, you know, and that's 
an edge. 

543
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:21,400
We repeated the scene, and 
that's why it required that 

544
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:26,100
nudity, that I walk down the 
street nude bruised, because I 

545
00:34:26,107 --> 00:34:31,600
come from, yeah, probably a 
ritualistic, sadistic a 

546
00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:34,699
torturous Raper. 
Wow, that's a, that's an 

547
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:38,800
incredible story about that. 
Do we work together in Wild at 

548
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:40,699
Heart? 
And I remember it took us, it 

549
00:34:40,699 --> 00:34:45,300
was quite fun, and Did you so 
David allowed me in in the films

550
00:34:45,300 --> 00:34:49,300
that I did with him to create a 
little bit of do look. 

551
00:34:49,300 --> 00:34:52,600
So for the character that I 
played was named her spirit, eat

552
00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:55,300
arango a wonderful. 
I remember you were my 

553
00:34:55,300 --> 00:34:59,200
girlfriend base. 
Yes, it was your girlfriend and 

554
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:01,000
I because you were such a bad 
guy. 

555
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:06,100
And we were sexist, sleazy 
people that I wanted to have 

556
00:35:06,500 --> 00:35:10,300
both to bead repellent but also 
sexy. 

557
00:35:10,500 --> 00:35:15,200
So I thought And I thought of 
Frida Kahlo because the painter 

558
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:20,400
pieter Callo, she's kind of, you
know, she has eyebrows that she 

559
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:23,500
had, you know, this is wonderful
how sometimes you're gonna 

560
00:35:23,500 --> 00:35:27,200
problems stash and yet she's so 
appealing and attractive. 

561
00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:31,900
So I copied a little bit the 
Frida Kahlo look, I remember 

562
00:35:31,900 --> 00:35:35,300
asking David can I have just a 
little bit of massage. 

563
00:35:35,300 --> 00:35:38,700
She said no, that's too much 
although Patti Smith cage and he

564
00:35:38,700 --> 00:35:41,600
has a little bit of mustache and
I found that would be quite 

565
00:35:41,900 --> 00:35:43,200
Powerful. 
You know why? 

566
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:47,600
I didn't just write it was 
frightening, but attractive, but

567
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:49,700
David didn't allow me to 
mistakes, but I had to one 

568
00:35:49,700 --> 00:35:51,700
eyebrow. 
You had those teeth. 

569
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:55,700
So strange, who does that, who 
chose Jesus? 

570
00:35:56,300 --> 00:36:01,500
It was in the script and little 
story that I always tell it 

571
00:36:01,500 --> 00:36:05,100
shows how actors sometimes limit
themselves in their imagination.

572
00:36:05,100 --> 00:36:09,100
I've read on the script. 
It says he has Stumpy discolored

573
00:36:09,100 --> 00:36:15,300
teeth and I just assumed the The
I assumed it wasn't a huge. 

574
00:36:15,300 --> 00:36:17,800
Huge budget film. 
So I figured they were just 

575
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:20,400
discolor my teeth because I 
don't have the most beautiful 

576
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:24,100
teeth in the world as it is. 
And then when I went to see 

577
00:36:24,100 --> 00:36:28,800
David, he was like, we got to 
get you to the dentist and I 

578
00:36:28,808 --> 00:36:34,600
thought He said we got to get 
those teeth and it ended up that

579
00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:40,200
they made, you know, full 
dentures that went over my teeth

580
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:44,600
for these huge gums. 
These kind of not too healthy 

581
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:48,400
looking gums and these very 
Stumpy teeth and the thing that 

582
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:52,000
that became the key for the 
character because when they put 

583
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:56,500
the Dentures over my teeth, I 
couldn't close my mouth. 

584
00:36:57,100 --> 00:36:59,800
So all the time I was like this 
This. 

585
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:06,000
And I say, if you had to do 
this, it immediately makes you 

586
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:09,700
feel kind of lascivious. 
Like you want to suck on 

587
00:37:09,700 --> 00:37:12,600
something or you want to say 
something vulgar, you know, it 

588
00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:15,000
was, it was a key to the 
character. 

589
00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:23,300
I feel like Wild at Heart, I had
so many externals that worked as

590
00:37:23,300 --> 00:37:26,800
triggers for my imagination that
I didn't. 

591
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:31,600
I didn't sweat about preparation
or Anything I felt very happy 

592
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:34,500
just to show up on the set 
there's David is a painter. 

593
00:37:34,508 --> 00:37:39,700
So for and he's imagery is uh so
strong, it's only photographic 

594
00:37:39,700 --> 00:37:43,300
the way cases the camera the 
set. 

595
00:37:43,500 --> 00:37:49,500
I always find costume to be a 
very important process caused 

596
00:37:49,500 --> 00:37:52,200
your makeup because he defines 
so much. 

597
00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:54,500
The character I play. 
Is it the same for you? 

598
00:37:54,900 --> 00:38:00,300
Yes, not only it defines it, but
sometimes it can be Be a real 

599
00:38:00,300 --> 00:38:03,900
mask you know, it can it can do 
a lot of work, you know, it's 

600
00:38:03,900 --> 00:38:08,000
all it's almost like sometimes 
I'm not this cynical but you 

601
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:11,500
know, sometimes you're like that
the costumes going to do this 

602
00:38:11,500 --> 00:38:17,000
one, you know, if it's very 
strong sometimes you, you don't 

603
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:20,000
have to work it, you have to 
just be and wear that costume. 

604
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:23,100
Well and then that makes your 
body move in the certain way 

605
00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:27,000
that makes you imagine how 
people are looking at you in a 

606
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:28,900
certain way. 
You know, if you have something 

607
00:38:28,900 --> 00:38:32,700
that you really Feel good in and
you feel like it's strong. 

608
00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:35,500
Then you're going to take on 
that strength in your 

609
00:38:35,500 --> 00:38:37,900
performance. 
If you feel like it's something 

610
00:38:37,900 --> 00:38:40,700
really repulsive, then you're 
going to slide into that 

611
00:38:40,700 --> 00:38:44,300
repulsion or if you feel real 
handsome and you got to be 

612
00:38:44,300 --> 00:38:49,900
handsome then you know you know,
clothes make the man. 

613
00:38:49,900 --> 00:38:53,200
What can I say or the person. 
Do you have the same thing? 

614
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:56,000
Sorry, because I'm also a model.
I'm not only an actress. 

615
00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:59,200
Do you have same thing with 
passion and then his fashion 

616
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:06,400
does, Wearing all your clothes 
gives you occasionally a mood or

617
00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:09,100
helps you get a mood or not. 
Definitely. 

618
00:39:09,100 --> 00:39:14,800
But I feel like I don't enter 
that black hole that is fashion,

619
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:18,500
you know, I like nice clothes 
and when you feel good in 

620
00:39:18,500 --> 00:39:21,500
clothes, it's great. 
But I tend to wear a uniform. 

621
00:39:21,700 --> 00:39:26,500
You know, I always think of that
ingmar Bergman with his, you 

622
00:39:26,500 --> 00:39:32,200
know, closet of 32. 
Home Max and one jacket in one 

623
00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:35,800
pair of trousers, you know, to 
me, that is a great definition 

624
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:39,800
of Elegance. 
I always think that the summit 

625
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:41,900
of Elegance is with somebody, 
fine. 

626
00:39:41,900 --> 00:39:46,500
So I kind of a uniform, I 
remember working with David. 

627
00:39:47,500 --> 00:39:53,400
He also wears the same clothes 
and I remember going to a French

628
00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:58,700
designer called an ESB, and just
helping start the shirt and 

629
00:39:58,700 --> 00:40:01,000
khaki pants. 
It's and the shirt and I think 

630
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:06,000
he still probably where's that? 
And yes, there is something to 

631
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:09,700
be said about having a uniform 
because becomes your second 

632
00:40:09,700 --> 00:40:12,600
skin, but also close tell who 
you are. 

633
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:16,600
Of course, when we play the 
costume, can create an extreme 

634
00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:21,700
or something that it isn't us 
like my big eyebrow and petite 

635
00:40:21,700 --> 00:40:25,900
at Durango and Wild at Heart or 
blue, eyeshadow red lipstick, 

636
00:40:25,900 --> 00:40:29,400
black wig, and white and blue 
velvet. 

637
00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:32,000
So in life, I cannot do that 
extreme. 

638
00:40:32,100 --> 00:40:36,200
But I do tend to also have a 
wardrobe, like IMA. 

639
00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:41,400
But the same thing also, because
you're revealing yourself 

640
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:44,700
through your choice of your 
clothes and it's a little bit, 

641
00:40:44,700 --> 00:40:47,700
maybe that goes back to the 
thing about you say about 

642
00:40:47,700 --> 00:40:50,500
shyness. 
I don't think I'm particularly 

643
00:40:50,500 --> 00:40:54,300
social Lee elegant. 
So I guess I'm a little shy so I

644
00:40:54,300 --> 00:40:57,100
don't want to reveal that about 
me. 

645
00:40:57,100 --> 00:41:02,100
I reveal myself through Cara. 
Actors and things and then who I

646
00:41:02,100 --> 00:41:05,000
really want to reveal myself is 
a very small circle. 

647
00:41:05,100 --> 00:41:08,500
So when you think about 
presenting yourself to the 

648
00:41:08,500 --> 00:41:12,700
world, that's what why the 
uniform appeals to visit me. 

649
00:41:12,900 --> 00:41:17,300
Because people it doesn't 
Express anything specific, you 

650
00:41:17,300 --> 00:41:20,600
know, it puts more emphasis on 
your body or something. 

651
00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:22,200
I don't know. 
Yes, yeah. 

652
00:41:22,500 --> 00:41:25,400
No. 
Well, I, you know, I, I don't 

653
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:27,400
know. 
I was said that the Elegance is 

654
00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:30,900
to definition the Elegance. 
They asked, what is the 

655
00:41:30,900 --> 00:41:33,800
definition of Elegance? 
It was said, the definition of 

656
00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:36,600
Elegance is not a combination of
clothes. 

657
00:41:36,700 --> 00:41:40,500
It's a, it's a thought behind 
the clothes and that's when you 

658
00:41:40,500 --> 00:41:44,700
see that click that thought even
for you, I want to be, you know,

659
00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:48,000
I'm an actor. 
I want to be a uniform, very 

660
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:50,700
simple black and black t shirt, 
black pants. 

661
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:55,200
It means I'm a puppet, I'm a 
puppet or a puppeteer, and both 

662
00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:58,700
and, you know, so to me, that's 
the definition of Elegance. 

663
00:41:58,700 --> 00:42:00,800
But, you know, talking, About, 
you said it, sometimes the 

664
00:42:00,808 --> 00:42:04,900
clothes create a character. 
I remember reading about Audrey 

665
00:42:04,900 --> 00:42:09,500
Hepburn when she did. 
My fair lady that, you know, she

666
00:42:09,500 --> 00:42:12,900
has to come out in my fair lady 
and Professor Higgins. 

667
00:42:12,900 --> 00:42:16,900
Finally sees big Malian Caesar 
finale as this beauty. 

668
00:42:17,300 --> 00:42:22,800
And she said that to that to 
clothes, she wore were so 

669
00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:26,600
beautifully done. 
That she also felt the same. 

670
00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:28,700
She said, I don't have to do 
anything. 

671
00:42:28,700 --> 00:42:31,900
I just had to stand there 
because the clothes would do it 

672
00:42:31,900 --> 00:42:34,800
for me. 
And of course, I was think of 

673
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:39,600
that scene because it's that 
silhouette that beautiful outfit

674
00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:44,200
that she wears in her very 
simply standing that made that 

675
00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:48,400
convey that moment of Revelation
to Professor Higgins. 

676
00:42:48,500 --> 00:42:52,300
This is a beautiful woman. 
It's fun to talk about the 

677
00:42:52,300 --> 00:42:55,500
stuff, because it always reminds
you that You know, when you make

678
00:42:55,500 --> 00:42:59,000
a film where you do it play, 
it's such a convergence of all 

679
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:03,200
these different choices and all 
these different contributions 

680
00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:06,900
that, you know, sometimes we get
a little too, I'm not being 

681
00:43:06,900 --> 00:43:10,000
falsely modest, but or koi or 
anything. 

682
00:43:10,300 --> 00:43:12,100
But really, I'm obsessed by 
this. 

683
00:43:12,300 --> 00:43:14,700
We got obsessed with the actor 
too much. 

684
00:43:14,900 --> 00:43:17,200
The actor, of course, is the 
thing we see. 

685
00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:21,600
But the actor, you know, the 
best thing an actor can do, is 

686
00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:23,900
be receptive to what's in the 
air. 

687
00:43:23,900 --> 00:43:27,200
And what's they're making and 
what's given to them and what 

688
00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:31,200
they make from what's given to 
them and all these conversations

689
00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:35,600
about external things, or 
process or director, all 

690
00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:41,500
indicate that as I get older, I 
want to disappear more and more,

691
00:43:41,600 --> 00:43:47,300
and more into the role, not in 
the typical method way, but one 

692
00:43:47,300 --> 00:43:50,900
of the things that I great, a 
great thing that I learned from 

693
00:43:51,400 --> 00:43:54,400
being with the Wooster Group, 
which was a real gift is the 

694
00:43:54,700 --> 00:43:58,500
Nations were as important as the
actors and sometimes the actors 

695
00:43:58,500 --> 00:44:02,600
served like technicians and 
sometimes the technicians served

696
00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:07,300
as actors. 
So there was a kind of equality.

697
00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:11,600
That was not only did it. 
Take off a certain kind of 

698
00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:15,600
pressure, but it recognized that
made you feel more flexible. 

699
00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:21,000
You were always clear about when
you had to drive and when you 

700
00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:24,500
had to react and that's that's 
very important. 

701
00:44:24,700 --> 00:44:29,900
Thing to know and what your what
your function is in the overall 

702
00:44:29,900 --> 00:44:32,800
thing. 
Sometimes there are great actors

703
00:44:33,500 --> 00:44:37,900
and they stand out and you love 
to watch them do their thing but

704
00:44:37,900 --> 00:44:39,800
they don't integrate into the 
movie. 

705
00:44:40,900 --> 00:44:45,500
I won't name any names but you 
know sometimes that happens and 

706
00:44:45,700 --> 00:44:49,500
okay, that's fun. 
But on some level I think that's

707
00:44:50,300 --> 00:44:54,900
that becomes very limiting for 
me the mmm bishan and What I 

708
00:44:54,908 --> 00:44:58,800
like to see and actors, what, 
you know, is this kind of 

709
00:44:59,500 --> 00:45:06,800
integration this kind of lack of
neediness or need need to take, 

710
00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:10,100
you know, the stage sometimes. 
Okay. 

711
00:45:10,300 --> 00:45:16,300
You gotta, as I say drive, but I
like these things where it's 

712
00:45:16,300 --> 00:45:18,700
kind of like, you can't help 
yourself. 

713
00:45:18,700 --> 00:45:22,100
There's a logic, there's a kind 
of objectivity, there's a kind 

714
00:45:22,100 --> 00:45:27,000
of clarity to You're the product
of many things. 

715
00:45:27,400 --> 00:45:32,400
Exactly, exactly. 
Oh, hey, can I ask you? 

716
00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:36,700
I have one curiosity. 
You have children? 

717
00:45:37,500 --> 00:45:41,100
Yeah, I have 11. 
It is. 

718
00:45:41,100 --> 00:45:44,000
He attractive. 
Grandchildren, I have two 

719
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:47,000
grandchildren to. 
Is there any one of the 

720
00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:50,700
grandchildren or your child want
to be actors? 

721
00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:57,400
Want to are in the business? 
No, my my Um, he's 40 years. 

722
00:45:57,400 --> 00:46:03,500
Old is a lawyer that clerks for 
justice has four judges. 

723
00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:08,000
That's his job, and he used to 
work for an environmental law 

724
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:14,800
firm. 
Lock concern down south but he, 

725
00:46:15,200 --> 00:46:22,000
I think he is mother was a 
director and met his father, an 

726
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:24,700
actor and I think somewhere, 
deep, Lee. 

727
00:46:24,700 --> 00:46:27,400
He didn't want to compete. 
He didn't want to have that life

728
00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:30,700
and he also grew up in the 
theater and also performed with 

729
00:46:30,700 --> 00:46:32,900
us. 
And he was perhaps the most 

730
00:46:32,900 --> 00:46:37,700
beautiful dancer I ever saw when
he was a child and he would 

731
00:46:37,700 --> 00:46:42,300
perform with us when he was a 
child and he was fantastic and 

732
00:46:42,300 --> 00:46:45,700
so much so that other people 
wanted to use him, not a 

733
00:46:45,700 --> 00:46:49,200
conventional dancer, but people 
downtown making films and that 

734
00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:55,200
sort sort of thing. 
Joe Andres for example, the Wife

735
00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:59,400
of Steve Buscemi used him in her
films. 

736
00:47:01,100 --> 00:47:06,500
But then when he hit adolescence
identity time came and I think 

737
00:47:06,500 --> 00:47:13,700
he did want to compete or 
following the singer be in the 

738
00:47:13,707 --> 00:47:16,500
same world and he was always 
agenda. 

739
00:47:16,500 --> 00:47:18,800
Mean I'm the daughter of 
somebody famous and I became an 

740
00:47:18,800 --> 00:47:24,400
actress in my 30s. 
Yeah, I mean modeling, you know 

741
00:47:24,600 --> 00:47:26,900
Worked as a model and I loved it
because I had nothing. 

742
00:47:26,900 --> 00:47:30,400
I mean, I thought he had been 
that had nothing to do with 

743
00:47:30,400 --> 00:47:33,600
acting. 
Then little they know once I 

744
00:47:33,600 --> 00:47:37,900
start act know, once I was deep 
into modeling, I said, well, you

745
00:47:37,908 --> 00:47:41,800
know, it is similar bit about 
acting Samuel, I don't have 

746
00:47:41,800 --> 00:47:44,500
words, but you have to save. 
You are emoting your you know, 

747
00:47:44,500 --> 00:47:47,700
you can't just stop there in 
front of the camera, you have to

748
00:47:47,700 --> 00:47:51,600
do something and and so that's 
what gave me the courage but I 

749
00:47:51,607 --> 00:47:54,500
think it was because I was a 
known model. 

750
00:47:54,600 --> 00:47:59,500
Had the courage to try acting. 
I was asked like your son. 

751
00:47:59,700 --> 00:48:02,800
I was asked to act and I was 
turned it down and then it was 

752
00:48:02,800 --> 00:48:05,600
around 30. 
And the first film I made in 

753
00:48:05,600 --> 00:48:10,500
America was but with Misha but 
he's Nico with whom I've stayed 

754
00:48:10,500 --> 00:48:15,500
very good friends and I totally 
are yes I adore me. 

755
00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:19,400
I think he's so and I adore that
he continued to dance I don't 

756
00:48:19,400 --> 00:48:24,200
know how old he is. 70 75, he 
continues to dance through him. 

757
00:48:24,600 --> 00:48:26,800
His movement is the expression 
of the body. 

758
00:48:26,800 --> 00:48:29,400
It isn't jumping hydras. 
Yes, he did that when he was 

759
00:48:29,400 --> 00:48:35,000
young, but he's such an 
inspiration to me and I agree. 

760
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:38,000
Then the second film I did was 
blue velvet with David Lynch. 

761
00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:41,400
So I was lucky to start with 
such wonderful people that 

762
00:48:41,400 --> 00:48:44,900
encouraged me to continue. 
I gotta go back to what you said

763
00:48:44,900 --> 00:48:49,200
about modeling. 
I haven't like model model, but 

764
00:48:49,200 --> 00:48:53,100
you know, I've done photo shoots
and I did a campaign for Prada 

765
00:48:53,100 --> 00:48:57,200
and I even did the Catwalk one 
side for Prada. 

766
00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:00,400
You know what I like it. 
It's fun. 

767
00:49:00,400 --> 00:49:02,500
It is performing. 
It is fun. 

768
00:49:02,500 --> 00:49:05,700
It is performing. 
And also when you do the catwalk

769
00:49:05,700 --> 00:49:08,300
to me, the most interesting part
of catwalk is that you 

770
00:49:08,300 --> 00:49:12,400
understand the designers point 
of view, and the designers can 

771
00:49:12,400 --> 00:49:15,300
be like a director. 
They have, if there are strong 

772
00:49:15,300 --> 00:49:18,400
designer, like Prada, they do 
have a point of view. 

773
00:49:18,600 --> 00:49:22,300
And sometimes when you go in a 
shop, the shop is already edited

774
00:49:22,300 --> 00:49:25,800
what they think will sell. 
So you don't see that was his 

775
00:49:25,800 --> 00:49:27,600
collection. 
But once you see the complete 

776
00:49:27,600 --> 00:49:30,700
collection, you really 
understand the process and the 

777
00:49:30,700 --> 00:49:33,900
creativity. 
And it is very interesting and 

778
00:49:33,900 --> 00:49:37,700
also I like the relationship 
with the photographer because 

779
00:49:37,700 --> 00:49:41,000
you're maybe, you know, their 
work, maybe they're famous, 

780
00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:45,100
maybe it's a wild card, you're 
taking a risk but it's a very 

781
00:49:45,100 --> 00:49:47,600
immediate kind of call and 
response. 

782
00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:52,500
They have a rough idea of what 
they want to do and then they 

783
00:49:52,500 --> 00:49:54,500
lay it on you and then you 
either. 

784
00:49:54,600 --> 00:49:57,700
Of fill it or you take it 
someplace else, you know, it 

785
00:49:57,700 --> 00:49:59,800
isn't July. 
Sometimes, it feels to me that 

786
00:49:59,800 --> 00:50:03,500
it is the same relationship that
we have as actors, you know, we 

787
00:50:03,500 --> 00:50:07,400
say acting is reacting and a lot
of it is listening and reacting,

788
00:50:07,700 --> 00:50:10,400
and sometimes you can have a 
partner that really works and 

789
00:50:10,400 --> 00:50:13,400
you play off very well. 
And sometimes it works less 

790
00:50:13,400 --> 00:50:16,900
well, and he's just saying to me
the same relationship between 

791
00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:19,600
two actors is the relationship 
that I have with the 

792
00:50:19,600 --> 00:50:22,400
photographer. 
I often find myself reacting to 

793
00:50:22,400 --> 00:50:24,400
the photographer, looking at him
in the land. 

794
00:50:24,500 --> 00:50:28,800
It's and reacting to what? 
T, sends me back if he's smiling

795
00:50:28,800 --> 00:50:31,400
as my back. 
If he's worried, I'm worried 

796
00:50:31,700 --> 00:50:35,000
about attracting fleas and 
that's how I, you know, I shape 

797
00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:38,400
my expression and then wait for 
him to click whenever he wants. 

798
00:50:38,700 --> 00:50:44,200
But I feel like it's a very 
instant thing and I like it when

799
00:50:44,200 --> 00:50:47,500
it works, well, it's a lot of 
fun when it works. 

800
00:50:47,500 --> 00:50:49,300
Well, is a lot of fun and I 
agree. 

801
00:50:49,300 --> 00:50:52,700
It's brief. 
The I always had a, probably a 

802
00:50:52,700 --> 00:50:57,300
dedicated myself more to An 
acting also because I had two 

803
00:50:57,300 --> 00:51:00,600
children and modeling. 
I always knew that even the big 

804
00:51:00,600 --> 00:51:05,100
job was finished in 34 days, a 
film might ask you to go away 

805
00:51:05,100 --> 00:51:08,400
for three or four months and 
that was much harder when you 

806
00:51:08,400 --> 00:51:11,500
have a battery. 
So, I always favored modeling 

807
00:51:11,500 --> 00:51:14,800
until I got too old and then 
camera. 

808
00:51:18,100 --> 00:51:22,500
Now you're still modeling it, 
still occasionally but not not 

809
00:51:22,500 --> 00:51:27,500
as when I was young. 
Well, let me see talking about, 

810
00:51:27,500 --> 00:51:31,500
I have to go because I have a 
word with the Dolce Gabbana 

811
00:51:31,500 --> 00:51:36,900
next, talking about.
