December 7, 2011- 'By the time I did Raging Bull I didn't care anymore in terms of being silent about where I came from or hiding certain things. Because that world was disappearing and it's gone now, but what remains in my memory was its atmosphere of fear, [... fear of ] powerful people. Who were above the law.'
