The Pope Dies, You Get Another Pope.

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.

I Realized The Exciting Place Was Behind The Camera With The Producer, Director And So On.

Nobody Taught Picasso How To Paint - He Learned For Himself. And Nobody Can Teach You To Be A Producer. You Can Learn The Mechanics, But You Can't Learn What's Right About A Script Or A Director Or An Actor. That Comes From Instinct And Intuition. It Comes From Inside You.

I've Been Very Lucky In My Long Life. On Three Continents, In Diverse Cultures, Through Happy Moments, Not-so-happy Moments, And Moments As Marvelous As This One, I've Had The Privilege Of Working With The Cinema's Greatest Masters.

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.
