| Andrea of
Terencehill.com thought of some interesting questions for
this interview. For comments or questions, contact info@terencehill.com
First
of all, we'd like to clear up all questions about your date
of birth. Some publications say that it's March 23, others
say that it's March 29!
I was born on March 29, that’s the correct date!
Many people would like to know which one of your
films is your favorite?
'My Name is Nobody'!
Which one of your movies do you like least of
all?
Maybe you don’t know this one, it's called 'Il
Vero e il Falso'.
What was your biggest artistic satisfaction?
Well, this is a difficult question, but I can say 'My
Name is Nobody'. And also 'Don
Matteo' gave me a lot of satisfaction.
What
do you like to do when you don’t work?
What I do when I don't work - I love nature and I love to
ride my motorcycle, to read and music - especially classical
music. And I like skiing very much.
Was there a particular scene in a movie that was
difficult to film?
Difficult - no, because once you have done a scene, it's
not difficult any more. I can remember that when I ate the
beans in 'They Call Me Trinity'
though, I didn't eat anything for 24 hours before doing
this scene!
When one of your movies is on TV, do you watch
it or not?
I watch maybe 15-20 minutes, because I enjoy watching the
fight scenes. I like them very much!
Is
there a place where you shot a movie that you liked a lot,
so you'd like to return?
One place was New Mexico - and it was with 'My
Name is Nobody'. I went back for 'Lucky
Luke' and I liked it so much that I lived there for
nine years!
Who is your favorite actor?
A contemporary actor - I like Mel Gibson very much.
What can you remember about your experience in
Hollywood? Are there any differences between filming in
Europe and in the USA? Movies are quite the same.
What I can say is that especially 'March
or Die' was a very big movie and I remember a journalist
coming to visit me from a European set. He said: "It’s
so funny to come and see you on this set, I have to walk
by ten, twenty trucks and walk for about one kilometer and
then when I get here… it’s just like any other
movie set! Just one camera and one actor! So why is all
this stuff here?"
And
what about your friendship with Bud?
We get along very well, but we don’t see each other
very often. But we talk by telephone. Anyway, we are friends
and we have things in common because we built our career
and made so many movies together, our lives grew up together.
I can say that he’s like a brother for me - and even
if you don’t see him for a while, when you see him
again, he's always a brother.
Have you ever thought about ending your career?
No, I don’t want to do things I don’t like,
and eventually I would like to get involved in directing.
Which
one is your favorite movie of Bud?
I think the Piedone series. It was very good!
Any projects for the future - with Bud or without
him?
The problem to work with Bud again is to find a good script.
We can't do what we already did and we're not the same age
as 20 years ago, so - who knows! And for the future: Now,
I just want to concentrate on Don Matteo
and then - we’ll see!
