लेखन वाले हिस्से को हमेशा सबसे पहले अहमियत दें। हर बेहतरीन फिल्म प्रोजेक्ट की शुरुआत एक अच्छी कहानी से होती है। अगर आपके पास अच्छी स्क्रिप्ट है, तो बाकी सारी चीज़ें खुद-ब-खुद सही दिशा में आगे बढ़ जाती हैं। लेखन सबसे अहम है।
Always care for the writing part first. Every good film project starts with good writing. If you have a good script, everything else follows. Writing is crucial.

इतालो काल्वीनो के साथ मेरा रिश्ता बहुत शानदार था। मुझे नहीं लगता कि यह महज एक इत्तेफाक है कि उनकी इकलौती बेटी का नाम जियोवाना है। मुझे उनकी किताबें मुझे समर्पित करने का अंदाज़ बहुत पसंद था: "जियोवाना कॉउ को, एक और किताब जिसका कभी फिल्म में रूपांतरण नहीं किया जाएगा।"
We [ with Italo Calvino] had a great relationship. I don't think it's a coincidence that his only daughter's name is Giovanna. I loved his book dedications to me: "To Giovanna Cau, another book that won't be turned into a movie."

मैं ओबामा का बहुत बड़ा फैन हूँ। मैं चाहूँगा कि मैं ज़मीन पर लेट जाऊँ और वे मेरे ऊपर से चलकर जाएँ।

मार्सेलो की सार्वजनिक छवि और उनके निजी जीवन में बहुत अंतर था। इटली के लोगों ने उन्हें खूबसूरती का प्रतीक मान लिया था, इस बात से वे खुद हैरान रह जाते थे।
There were a lot of contradictions between Marcello's[ Mastroianni] public persona and who he was in private. The fact that Italy chose to incarnate him as a model of beauty stupefied him.

मैंने बच्चों की देखभाल नहीं की, बल्कि घर की साज-सज्जा पर ध्यान दिया। मैं एक आर्किटेक्ट बनना चाहती थी, इसलिए मैंने घर के उस पहलू को खुद सँवारा। इस सारी अफरा-तफरी के बीच, मैं चीज़ों को इधर-उधर करती और अपने हिसाब से सब कुछ व्यवस्थित करती ताकि मुझे मानसिक शांति मिल सके।
I didn't take care of the kids. I took care of the interior decoration of the house. I wanted to be an architect, so I curated that aspect of things. In the middle of the chaos, I moved things around and rearranged everything to find my order.

आज के उपभोक्तावाद ने सब कुछ बदल दिया है। मुझे लगता है कि आज के बच्चे पहले जितने रचनात्मक नहीं रहे।
Today's consumerism has changed things. I think children are much less creative now.

मेरे पिता ही मेरे लिए सब कुछ थे। अपनी माँ के विपरीत—उनके साथ मेरा कोई खास भावनात्मक जुड़ाव नहीं था।
My father was everything to me. Unlike my mother - I didn't have a special affinity with her.

काम बहुत बड़ी चीज़ है। यह बात मुझे मेरे पिता ने सिखाई थी। वे नहीं चाहते थे कि मैं बड़ी होकर सिर्फ किसी की पत्नी बनकर रह जाऊँ।
Work is a great thing. This is something my father taught me. He didn't want me to grow up to be somebody's wife.

मैंने एक बहुत ही भरपूर जीवन जिया है, जिसमें दर्द और अपने प्रियजनों को खोने का गम भी शामिल है। मैंने उन सभी लोगों को खो दिया जो मेरे सबसे करीब थे: मेरे हमसफ़र, मेरे पिता और मेरे पक्के दोस्त; लेकिन फिर भी मैं कोई शिकायत नहीं कर सकती। मैं 91 साल की हो चुकी हूँ और आज भी अपनी मेज पर काम कर रही हूँ।
I had a very full life, with pains and losses, of course. I lost all the people I was closest to: my partner, my father, and my best friends, but I can't complain. I am 91 years old and I am still here at my desk.

यह मेरी सबसे बड़ी सफलता है। 1946 तक इटली में महिलाओं को वोट देने का अधिकार नहीं था। मेरी एक अच्छी दोस्त और मैंने मिलकर महिलाओं का एक समूह बनाया और इसके खिलाफ विरोध प्रदर्शन किया। तब मैं बहुत छोटी, महज़ एक लड़की थी। हम विमिनाले (गृह मंत्रालय) गए और मंत्रालय बोर्ड के अध्यक्ष से बात की। हमारी ही पहल की बदौलत महिलाओं को मतदान का अधिकार दिलाने के लिए सरकारी प्रक्रिया शुरू हो पाई। इसके लिए मुझे अपने पिता का शुक्रिया अदा करना चाहिए। वे जिनेवा में 'लीग ऑफ़ नेशंस' में थे, और वहाँ महिलाओं को वोट देने का अधिकार था। उन्हें यह बात बिल्कुल बेतुकी लगती थी कि उनके अपने देश में महिलाओं को वोट देने का अधिकार क्यों नहीं है।
It's my greatest success. Women did not vote in Italy until 1946. A good friend and I put together a group of women to protest this. I was very young, just a girl. We went to the Viminale [home of the Ministry of the Interior] and spoke to the chair of the ministry board. Thanks to our initiative, we got the bureaucracy rolling on giving women the right to vote. I have to thank my father for this. He was in Geneva at the League of Nations, and women voted there. He thought it was absurd that women didn't vote in his country yet.

मेरा जन्म 11 मार्च 1923 को रोम में हुआ था। अपनी उम्र के लिहाज से, मैं इस देश के इतिहास का एक हिस्सा बन चुकी हूँ, लेकिन यह भी सच है कि इटली के फ़िल्म इतिहास का एक बड़ा दौर मेरे ज़रिए भी गुजरा है।
I was born in Rome on March 11, 1923. Because of my age, I've become a piece of this country's history, but it's also true that a certain strand of Italy's film history has passed though me.

वह (इतालो काल्भिनो) हमेशा कहते थे कि उनकी किताबों पर फ़िल्में बनाना नामुमकिन है, हालांकि वे चाहते थे कि ऐसा हो क्योंकि आखिरकार उसी से पैसा मिलता था।
He[ Italo Calvino] always said it would be impossible to try to make films out of his books, though he hoped it would happen because that's where the money was.

वह (मोनिका विट्टी) एक महान अभिनेत्री थीं, लेकिन उनका स्वभाव बहुत कठिन था। फिलहाल उनसे मेरा कोई संपर्क नहीं है क्योंकि वह बहुत बीमार हैं। सच कहूँ तो, वह दिल की बहुत उदार महिला नहीं थीं। मैं उनसे ज़्यादा मिलती-जुलती नहीं हूँ।
She [Monica Vitti] was a great actress, but a very difficult person. I am not in contact with her at the moment because she is very sick. Not a generous woman, I have to say. I don't see her much.

मैंने सिर्फ फ़िल्म जगत के लोगों के साथ ही काम नहीं किया है। एक वकील के तौर पर, मैंने बेदखली के मामलों के खिलाफ भी लड़ाई लड़ी, और लीज-करार जैसे मामलों पर भी काम किया—जो इस पेशे का कम ग्लैमरस पहलू है।
I surely haven't only dealt with film people. As a lawyer, I also fought against evictions, or worked on leases - the unglamorous side of the business.

अब सब कुछ बदल चुका है। दुनिया बदल चुकी है। मुझे खुद इस बात पर हैरानी होती है कि आज मैं सबसे आगे हूँ। मैंने अपनी सारी झिझक खो दी है! मैं इंटरव्यू दे रही हूँ! फ़िल्में बना रही हूँ! मुझे खुद पर ही आश्चर्य होता है।
Everything has changed now. The world has changed. It surprises me to be on the forefront. I've lost all dignity! I give interviews! I make movies! I'm amazed at myself.

मैंने कभी किसी चीज़ के बारे में खुलकर बात नहीं की थी, लेकिन अब इस उम्र में आकर मैंने अपनी सारी पाबंदियाँ पूरी तरह छोड़ दी हैं। हर मायने में। उदाहरण के लिए, मैं कभी कैमरे के सामने नहीं आई, लेकिन अब मैं फ़िल्मों और डॉक्यूमेंट्रीज़ में भी आ चुकी हूँ।
I never uttered a word about things, but with my age now, I've completely lost all reservations. In more ways than one. I was never in front of the camera, for example, but now I've been in films and documentaries.

मुझे मार्सेलो से कभी प्यार नहीं हुआ। मैं शारीरिक रूप से भी उनकी ओर आकर्षित नहीं थी। हाँ, मैं उनकी बहुत इज़्ज़त करती थी। मैंने हमेशा उनका साथ दिया और उनका समर्थन किया, लेकिन हमारे बीच कभी वह खास चिंगारी नहीं जगी।
I've never been in love with Marcello [Mastroianni]. I wasn't even attracted to him physically. I admired him. I followed him and supported him, but nothing ever clicked.

यह मेरी ज़िंदगी की सबसे खूबसूरत यादों में से एक है। हर किसी को ग्रेटा गार्बो से मिलने का मौका नहीं मिलता! मैं उनके व्यक्तित्व से इतनी प्रभावित थी कि हाल ही में मैंने अपने असिस्टेंट से ऑनलाइन उनकी फ़िल्म 'क्वीन क्रिस्टीना' (1933) ढूँढने को कहा। उस दुर्लभ डीवीडी को अब मैं एक अनमोल धरोहर की तरह सहेज कर रखती हूँ।
It's one of the most beautiful memories of my life. Not everyone has a chance to meet Greta Garbo! I was so in awe of her that I recently had my assistant search online for her film Queen Christina [1933]. I cherish that rare DVD like a precious keepsake now.

मुझे तस्वीरें खिंचवाना बिल्कुल पसंद नहीं था और मैं कभी रेड कार्पेट पर नहीं जाना चाहती थी, भले ही मुझसे इसके लिए हमेशा कहा जाता था। मेरी असली जगह परदे के पीछे थी। मैं कोई दिवा नहीं थी। मुझे ज़िंदगी को बाहर से देखना ज़्यादा पसंद था।
I hated being photographed and never wanted to go on red carpets, even though they always asked me to. My place was behind the scenes. I wasn't a diva. I preferred to look at life from the outside.

मैंने मार्सेलो को कभी किसी महिला के प्यार में पूरी तरह पागल होते नहीं देखा। मैं उन्हें "वह इंसान जो प्यार नहीं कर सकता" कहकर बुलाती थी। वे बहुत स्नेह देने में सक्षम थे। जो महिलाएँ उनके करीब थीं, वे उनका सम्मान करते थे, लेकिन उन्होंने ज़िंदगी में कभी किसी से प्यार नहीं किया।
I'd never seen Marcello [Mastroianni] truly in love with a woman. I called him "the man who couldn't love." He was capable of enormous amounts of affection. He respected the women who were close to him, but never once fell in love.

मेरी महिला क्लाइंट्स कम थीं। मुझे नहीं पता क्यों। हमेशा पुरुष ही मुझे चुनते थे। और वे लोग होते थे जिनके राज़ मुझे अपने पास सुरक्षित रखने होते थे। मैंने सोफिया लोरेन का केस लड़ा था। उन्हें कैसेर्टा में 17 दिनों के लिए जेल में रखा गया था।
I had fewer female clients. I don't know why. It was always the men who chose me. And the ones whose secrets I had to hold. I represented Sophia Loren. She was jailed in Caserta for 17 days.
