Sembra che oggi il problema di molte star sia proprio quello di gestire il proprio successo una volta ottenuto. I suoi insegnamenti prevedono anche lezioni in tal senso?
C’è bisogno di una guida per questo. Se si dispone di meravigliosi insegnanti e amici intorno a te, non c'è mai un problema
Le sue lezioni prima ancora di insegnare ad interpretare dei personaggi, mirano a fare capire come interpretare se stessi superando i propri blocchi personali e riconoscendo i comportamenti sbagliati. Una scuola di vita, quindi, che può servire non solo per diventare attori...
Fra i suoi allievi ci sono anche importanti uomini di affari. Anche loro devono imparare a recitare per raggiungere il successo nello show business?
Nessuno mai ci insegna come avere successo nella vita e questo è un grosso problema in tutto il mondo. Bisogna imparare la lingua del successo per avere successo.
Con quale politico le piacerebbe lavorare?
Quando ritorna a Roma, di cosa proprio non può fare a meno…
Quando sono a Roma, mi piace il cibo, la gente e il paesaggio incredibile. Stare a Roma è come vivere in un museo. Il cuore di Roma è così bello. ..gli artisti, poi, sono incredibili. Sono fortunato ad essere qui.

Many superstars in Hollywood who trust the work of the expert acting coach to hone their acting techniques. If George Clooney, Julie Andrews, Michelle Pfeiffer, Helen Mirren, Kate Hudson Vanessa Hudgens, Jennifer Garner, Billy Crystal, Melissa Gilbert, Jeff Goldblum, and many others have turned to Bernard Hiller is because his method was enshrined as one of the consecrating him as the best in the world "acting coach" par excellence. His career, which began from the Broadway theater, led him to be in show business for over 30 years where he helped students to become actors who were born to be. Hiller teaches in addition to ways of working as an actor in film, theater and television also techniques to achieve incredible performance during the hearings, the ability to analyze scripts, on how to plan their careers.

You started the career of many stars from Hollywood and from the rest of the world. Can you tell us the name of the one you are more proud of?
I’m most proud of Cameron Diaz. I started her career with the movie “The Mask” with Jim Carrey. She says she could of never done it without me.
You are back in Italy for your masterclass where you teach the students how to become a successful actor. From your previous experiences, do you think Italy has actors that have what it takes to make it in Hollywood?
Italians can be the best actors. They just need the latest training. Which I’m going to give them. Italians have won 100 Oscars so far, in all different categories. Hollywood loves Italians.
Talking about those Italian actors that already made it in Hollywood, who is your favorite?
I have so many favorite. Anna Magnani, Sofia Loren, Marcello Mastroianni, Roberto Benigni. I love watching them.
As you know, Paolo Sorrentino won the Oscar last year, do you think he could win again with his new movie?
Of course. I was with him when he won the Golden Globe. You can always win if you have a good movie. I was just coaching an actress in his upcoming next movie. So, let’s see.
His book "Stop Acting Start Living" reveals how to achieve happiness and success. Just read a book to become happy and successful means to really be happy?
First you have to be happy to succeed in Hollywood. My book gives you ideas of how to accomplish that. If you are not happy then what is life about anyway. Happiness unlocks your talent. Happiness helps your deal with life better. Happy People live longer.
It seams that nowadays the problem that lots of stars have is to learn how to handle success. Does your teaching includes this?
You need a mentor to help you with that.If you have wonderful teachers and friends around you, there never is a problem.
In your classes, before teaching how to play a character, you teach how to understand ourselves overcoming personal blocks and understanding wrong behaviours. It’s like a school of life, that could help also non actors....?
1. Learn to Love yourself.
2. Follow your heart, your instincts, your mind is always wrong.
3. Be yourself. It’s great to be different.
4. Always start something you want to do before you are ready.
5. Don’t let money ever stop you from living your dream.
In America, actors and non actors believe also in Scientology to learn how to handle their fears, what do you think?
I don’t “personally” know anyone that believes in Scientology. For me and my Hollywood friends, Scientology sound totally CRAZY! If you have a problem in life, find something more positive to help you.
With your method you help the students to become the actors they were born to be. Do you think this can work only with those that have talent? How do you recognise that?
If you want to achieve something or you have a dream about something you want to do, you have the talent. But only the right training can free your talent. So study with the best to be the best.
Nowadays lots of talents are discovered from reality shows, youtube videos...what do you think?
Talent is Talent whatever it comes from doesn’t matter.
Among your students there are also business men. Do they also have to learn how to “act” to become successful? Life is an act. But you have to learn how to be successful.
Nobody ever teaches you how to succeed in life. It’s a big problem around the world. You must learn the language of success to succeed. Be smart start today!
With whom of politicians would you like to work with?
The White House contacted me to work with George Bush. Which I didn’t do. But they asked. I will work with anyone who wants to get better.
What is the thing you always want to do whenever you are back in Rome?
When I in Rome I love the food, the people and the incredible scenery. Rome is like living in a museum. The heart of Rome is so beautiful. And the artists are amazing! I’m so lucky to be here.
