00:01Valentina Dieti, Italy, movie player. So, hi. In this TV show, you're the leader and your character has a code,
00:13but his code is questioned even by his daughter and his son.
00:19So, in your opinion, what's the qualities that a good leader should have? Because time are changing. So, what's a
00:30good leader today? What makes a good leader today?
00:32Yeah, that's a really good question because it is very current. Some of these themes, questioning the authority, questioning the
00:39way things have always kind of run. He is very rigid in his beliefs on what we operate by this
00:50code.
00:52And so, you know, it's hard for him to sort of come around and grasp another way of doing it
00:58because they've done it for so long.
01:00And when he starts being, you know, when his own family is railing against it, when the public is railing
01:08against it, they want these superheroes or they want these supervillains put out.
01:14He doesn't believe that you kill. He doesn't even believe that you kill when it's your own family, trying to
01:20save another family.
01:21I mean, that to me was, if I could tell you how many times we had a question that I
01:27went in and talked to him about this specific thing, like this code.
01:31I was like, I don't understand, like the logic behind this, we don't kill.
01:36Because to me, if somebody is trying to take out my son or somebody from my family, or if one
01:44of them is trying to take me out, to not like understand why they wouldn't want to kill them before
01:51they killed me, I just had a hard time wrapping my head around it.
01:56And so, I think that part of the reason is that he, you know, part of the reason why he
02:07believes that specific thing is that he believes that once you start killing, it's a slippery slope and everybody will
02:12kind of, it'll become a big bloodbath.
02:15I think, I'm still not quite sure, but, you know, when he, when he goes, when he tells his son
02:22that, you know, what you did when you saved me from Blackstar was wrong, makes me think that this guy
02:29might have some kind of a death wish.
02:30Like, like he'd rather, he would almost rather have been killed in that situation than having us killed somebody else,
02:37which logically doesn't make any sense to me.
02:41But he also knows that he needs to start listening. He needs to start hearing what other people are saying.
02:47And it is, including his daughter, like, why does, why are his kids not, why are they, why are they
02:55resenting him so much?
02:56Well, it's because you weren't around for so long as a kid, when we were kids. And, you know, why
03:02is he seeking therapy? Because he doesn't have the answers. And I think that that kind of stuff is really
03:06interesting.
03:06Like this guy who is the most powerful dude in the world needs to go seek therapy, needs to go
03:11talk to somebody.
03:13And I think that's the sign of a good leader when he knows that he needs to start, he needs
03:18to act, like, take into account other people's thoughts and ideas and start, you know, maybe leading with other people
03:26and other people's ideas in mind.
03:30Your culture is so powerful, and he gains his power, thanks to his sense of, of wonder, he wants to,
03:40he seeks adventure, he's a true believer.
03:44So do you think that is essential having this sense of wonder to accomplish great things or not?
03:53I don't understand the question.
03:56So are you saying Sheldon has a sense of adventure?
04:00Yeah, he's a true believer.
04:01He wants to find these things that he's saying, he's seeing.
04:06And for that, for his sense of adventure, of believing in what he thinks is real, he becomes the greatest
04:14man on earth, the most powerful.
04:17So do you think that to accomplish great things, we have to believe, we have to have a sense of
04:22wonder, of seeking adventure?
04:24Yeah, that's a really good question.
04:26I think part of his reasoning in the beginning is that he's in such a downward spiral, and he's literally,
04:34like, losing his mind, that these visions, these coordinates that he's seeing that lead him to, he has no idea
04:42where out in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.
04:44And, you know, only a crazy person would really follow that and go do it.
04:51But in the idea that he was able to convince five other people to go do it with them is
04:55even more crazy.
04:56But he was able to do it.
04:58They trusted him.
04:59They've loved him.
05:01And I think that they all knew that whatever this was, was worth going to find.
05:06And to your other point, to the other part of the question, I do believe that you have to have
05:11this fearlessness, this big imagination.
05:18If you want to go out and accomplish great things, you have to have this no fear, this sort of,
05:28this no fear of going into the unknown and sort of doing it.
05:32Because it is, you don't know.
05:33And I think that it's easy to sort of sit back and know what the comfort zone is and not
05:38really go outside of that.
05:39But if you really want to go out and do great things, you have to go take big chances.
05:42And I think that that's one of the themes of this story.
05:46And then once you get those things, once you get those powers, was it really worth?
05:50That's the beauty of it, is once they go, they took this giant sort of risk in going out and
05:57finding this stuff.
05:58And then they get these powers.
05:59They had no idea were even coming.
06:02And then you go to 90 years later, it's like, was it really worth all that?
06:05You know?
06:06Yeah.
06:07I think it was, but, you know.
06:13You were speaking about 19 years before.
06:16I think that these characters are so unique because we see them in many different periods.
06:23So, in your opinion, to really understand where we are going, we have to know our past, our history.
06:30How important is it to know our past?
06:34Well, I think that's another really good question because one of the beauties of this show is that we do
06:40know their past.
06:40We do know where they came from.
06:41So, it is part of an origin story where we knew what they were like before.
06:48And then we then see what life has been like 90 years later and how they've been affected by it
06:56all.
06:58And even with his son, you know, if you look at his relationship with his son, is it like a
07:05sins of the father type thing where, you know, you repeat the mistakes that your father made by imparting the
07:13same kind of things upon your son?
07:14And, you know, he wanted so desperately to, he loved his, my character loved his dad so much.
07:24And then to see him do what he did when he jumped off that building right in front of him,
07:28he'll never be able to truly forgive his father for that.
07:32But then you kind of see him doing the same thing with his own son.
07:37His son adores him.
07:41Yet, you sort of see this taking a path of, he's going to end up ultimately possibly doing the same
07:48type of thing.
07:48So, you know, you hope that we learn from our mistakes and see our parents' mistakes and sort of evolve
07:58beyond that.
07:59But I don't know.
08:02Okay.
08:04Thank you so much.
08:05Great work, by the way.
08:07Bye.
08:08Thank you very much, Valentina.
08:09Bye.
