    Baron Harkonnen is a big, big monster who have anti-gravitational implants and he is in the air all the time because he is too, too heavy. Orson Welles. Orson Welles had a bad reputation because they said that he liked to drink and eat so much that he ate at the movies. He ate a lot, and then he did not finish the movies, he was moody. But I said, “No, Orson Welles is a genius, he is the one.” And since he liked to eat they say he goes to the gastronomic restaurants in Paris. Therefore, I sent a secretary to ask in all the gastronomic restaurants in Paris: “Where does Orson Welles eat?” And we discovered a restaurant and then he was eating. Six bottles of wine. He was eating. And then I asked to the chef “What is the best wine he want?” He say, “That.” Then, “Send him a bottle.” And then, he drink the bottle and he want to speak to me. And then, I speak with all the respect, because was for me was an idol. He say, " I don’t want to do it. I don’t want any more." I say to him, “I will propose something. If you do the picture, even if we pay what you want as an actor, I will hire the chef of this restaurant and you will eat, as here, every day.” And he say, “I do it.”

      I wanted Mick Jagger to play Feyd-Rautha, a character. How am I going to contact this person who is not going to be impressed that I have the great power to make a movie? He is in the peak of his fame, of his glory. How? And I was invited to an event in Paris. It was a big gathering of the Parisian bourgeoisie and at the other side of the room, a big room, I don’t know, maybe 150 square meters, was Mick Jagger. I saw him from a distance and I think he saw me and I saw him walking, he started walking. He started walking between the people and I then realized that he was coming to me. He crossed the room and he stood in front of me. And I told him, “I want you for my movie.” And he said only one word, “Yes.”
