Speaker 1: Hey everybody.
Speaker 2: Hey, it's Bruce.
Speaker 3: Thanks for pulling up a chair for another bonus episode
Speaker 3: of Table for two.
Speaker 2: Today, we have something a little different for you.
Speaker 1: Usually we share a meal with our guests at a
Speaker 1: wonderful restaurant, but for the next couple of weeks, we'll
Speaker 1: be hearing this interview I conducted with Isabella Rossellini at
Speaker 1: her beautiful farm.
Speaker 3: I hope you enjoy our little lightning round and we'll
Speaker 3: be back next Tuesday with our full conversation.
Speaker 2: We're gonna do a little quick, little speed round.
Speaker 4: Okay.
Speaker 3: This is a fun lightning round where I say something
Speaker 3: and you kind of give me the first pop word
Speaker 3: that comes in.
Speaker 2: Okay, So your favorite pasta dish?
Speaker 4: You know, the simple one? Oh no, my father one,
Speaker 4: I should say my father. It's a past edition that
Speaker 4: my father did. Pasta regular spaghetti. You put a little
Speaker 4: lemon zest, and then you all the herbs you can
Speaker 4: find in your garden, parsially, basil, oregano. You chop it
Speaker 4: up and you put it there with sometimes even a
Speaker 4: little bit of tomatoes, olive oil, and salt. It's so good, good, simple,
Speaker 4: it's so good. It's a summary.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Okay, I love that your most cherished possession.
Speaker 4: Well, I would say my dog, but I don't really
Speaker 4: possess him, but I would say my dog.
Speaker 2: Okay, I love it. The best advice you have received, I.
Speaker 4: Think the best advice that I have received. It was
Speaker 4: to follow my curiosity, and advice I also give. And
Speaker 4: it was given to me by a great Italian war
Speaker 4: journalist called Orianna Falacci, who was a very good friend
Speaker 4: of mine. It was a fantastic writer, and she followed
Speaker 4: her curiosity and she said to me, everything passes. At
Speaker 4: the time, it was a famous model the beauty by
Speaker 4: your curiosity. If you follow your curiosity, you'll be happy.
Speaker 4: And she was right.
Speaker 3: That is lovely, it is, and she is right, And
Speaker 3: that's not always easy.
Speaker 4: That's interesting because you know, we have we want to
Speaker 4: be perceived in a certain way, we want to be accepted.
Speaker 4: But forget all that and just say what is interesting
Speaker 4: to me? And sometimes you know, for me, I mean animals.
Speaker 4: I mean people say it's childish, but it isn't childish.
Speaker 4: If you're anathologist, it isn't childish. But at the beginning
Speaker 4: it looks like what am I doing? I mean, it's
Speaker 4: a childish law. I should like theater.
Speaker 2: Shakespeare, your favorite movie.
Speaker 4: My favorite movie The Circus by Charlie Chaplin.
Speaker 2: The Circus, so it's.
Speaker 4: A silent film, which I love. I love silent films,
Speaker 4: and I'm so sorry that the progress in technology killed
Speaker 4: silent because in silent film even more you relied on images.
Speaker 4: And I think film is a is an visual art.
Speaker 4: When you have words, it becomes you know, we've seen
Speaker 4: film talky talky talky, they are boring. So film is
Speaker 4: a visual art. And because they didn't have words, silent
Speaker 4: film really had to be powerfully visual and also pantomime
Speaker 4: the way of acting. And I'm saying sometimes it looks
Speaker 4: exaggerated from us, but if you look at Charlie Chaplin,
Speaker 4: it isn't exaggerated, but it's yet pantomime, and that art
Speaker 4: has died. And then I'm so sorry. So I'm a
Speaker 4: huge fan of silent movie. I'm a huge fan of
Speaker 4: Charlie Chaplin and The Circus. I mean, it's all about
Speaker 4: animals and Jacklin at all.
Speaker 2: I mean, that's the thing. When you think of blue Velvet,
Speaker 2: what's the first.
Speaker 4: I think of David. I think of David Lynch, and
Speaker 4: he's a lovely.
Speaker 2: Man, yeah, I mean it really is. It was a
Speaker 2: pivotal movie. It just was very pivotal.
Speaker 4: Favorite wine, favorite wine. I know that I have a favorite.
