00:07Sì, vorrei chiedere te.
00:10Do you think that loneliness is something that is necessary to achieve greatness?
00:19That's a deep question.
00:22I'm wondering why you asked that.
00:24In my version of Uncle Scrooge I try to depict him as a very lonely person.
00:28but is he a great person? I don't know
00:31it's like the question of Charles Foster Kane
00:33who's a very lonely man
00:38loneliness is
00:39I think possibly
00:41that loneliness is an aspect
00:43that makes people
00:47turn inward
00:48and achieve some sort of greatness sometimes
00:51may I ask you a question?
00:53why do you ask that?
00:54because reading your Dark Dynasty
00:56I thought that maybe
00:59Scrooge became what he did
01:01because he was lonely
01:02for the most part of his life
01:04well that's true
01:05I don't know
01:06I think you asked if that's necessary
01:07to be a great man
01:08but in Scrooge's case
01:10that's what made him very rich
01:12he was a great man before he was rich
01:15so I want to know
01:17what's greatness for you?
01:21greatness is just to be able to
01:24to do what you want in life
01:27well what sort of greatness
01:29greatness to affect other people's lives
01:31in a positive way
01:32somebody like Mother Teresa
01:34that's one sort of greatness
01:36somebody who can achieve inventions
01:38that affect lots of lives
01:40in a positive way
01:44personal greatness
01:45is if you're just content
01:46with your personal life
01:48I guess
01:49you've achieved everything you need
01:50you don't need lots of money
01:51to be happy
01:52you know how to be perfectly happy
01:55with just enough money
01:56to pay the bills
01:57that's something I think
01:58I've achieved
02:00I don't know if that's great
02:01but it feels okay
02:03I want to know
02:04if there's something in your life
02:06that has the same value
02:08as the number one coin
02:10has to Scrooge
02:14a single item
02:16well there's
02:17the one thing that I display
02:19the most prominently
02:19in my comic book vault
02:21is my one owner
02:23copy
02:24actually it belonged
02:25to my sister originally
02:26but the 1952
02:28first issue of
02:30Uncle Scrooge comics
02:31that's sort of like
02:32my number one dime
02:33that's yeah
02:34that's what caused me
02:35that comic more than any other
02:37inspired me to
02:38create comics
02:39and then that's the reason
02:40I ended up here
02:41today
02:43Uncle Scrooge has a chest
02:45where he takes all
02:47the important things
02:48of his life
02:49do you have something
02:50what's in your life chest?
02:54that would be
02:55I think my house
02:56my house is packed
02:58with things I've collected
02:59ever since I was
02:59maybe 10 years old
03:02and it's much bigger
03:03than Scrooge's chest
03:04those are the things
03:05that mean the most to him
03:06I guess inspired by him
03:08I've got a much much bigger chest
03:10than he does
03:11family is very important
03:13in your work
03:15do you think that
03:16Uncle Scrooge
03:17without family
03:19wouldn't be so rich
03:21and so great?
03:24I don't think
03:26he has a family
03:26he seems to be
03:27cut off from his family
03:28that's something
03:29I tried to make
03:30a point of
03:32and I've always
03:33been cut off
03:34from my family
03:35that's
03:36maybe part of the thing
03:37I put into Scrooge
03:38that I share with him
03:39last question
03:40do you know
03:41that in Italy
03:41there's a Facebook page
03:44called
03:4520 years that cry
