When I went abroad and made films in Italy and other places, I was used in different ways. I was rather often cast as crazy people, maniacs.

Suddenly I was on the more magical side of his world, playing the people with fantasies, variety, the artists.”

It changed from that to being purely entertainment. And once it became purely entertainment, it lost something.”

But there was this massive interest in voice-over as well as in the story, so I think that also added to the film's appeal.”
