I can't say I gave up totally my passion for women but almost.
I had too many big passions in life and it gets in the way of work. You can't concentrate properly on the one thing.
There are lots of wonderful old Italian actors. You don't need to take an Egyptian to play an Italian actor.
I didn't want to be a slave to any passion anymore. I gave up card playing altogether, even bridge and gambling - more or less. It took me a few years to get out of it.
