London: Actor-director Martin Scorsese says his youngest daughter Francesca has inspired him to make him his 3D movie 'Hugo'.
The 69-year-old filmmaker, who has been married five times and has two grown up daughters, said he got committed to making 3-D adventure movie 'Hugo' after reading stories to his youngest child Francesca despite him being best known for violent adult films such as 'Taxi Driver' and 'Goodfellas', Femalefirst reported.
"I read 'Hugo' with my daughter and she was interested in it. And it wasn't just her, it as her friends. They liked it.
"Naturally I am associated more with the films for adults like 'Taxi Driver' and 'Raging Bull' but it seemed very natural and the right time of my life to try something like this," he said.
However, as Francesca began to grow, Scorsese admits she caught him lying about the nature of the world and even the books he was reading to her.
"We were playing and talking, talking and talking. She would ask questions like, 'What is a flower?' and I would make up answers.
"I would be reading a lot to the child, books like 'The Jungle Book'. I would read the story as written at first. I would then act out different parts and start improvising." And when she got to six or seven and started reading she would ask, 'Is that what it says right there?'," he added.
