Sergio Leone's quotes
- [on Henry Fonda] I have never known an actor with such craft, with such professional seriousness; such a pleasant man, full of humor, so reserved and so keenly quick-witted.
- [on Lee Van Cleef] His glance makes holes in the screen.
- [on Clint Eastwood] As an actor, he has two expressions: with and without the hat.
- [on Orson Welles] He was a hard man. He'd lose his temper. He broke telephones. He also drank. But he could also be sensitive. [...] At any rate, I found him fascinating. I had infinite admiration for his directing.
- When I was young, I believed in three things: Marxism, the redemptive power of cinema, and dynamite. Now I just believe in dynamite.
- My films are basically silent films. The dialogue just adds some weight.
- The cowboy picture has got lost in psychology. The West was made by violent uncomplicated men, and it is this strength and simplicity that I try to recapture in my pictures.
- In our society man is forced to undergo violence of every kind without being able to react. In the old West, a man with a pistol could make his own justice. Now he must go to a magistrate.
- All the killings in my films are exaggerated because I wanted to make a tongue-in-cheek satire on run-of-the-mill westerns.
- I've always had the sensation that people in America are always avant-garde. Very attentive to all the new innovations. But it's very specialized. The American public is a very specialized public.
- [on why he decided to become a filmmaker] My mother was an actress. My father was an actor and a director. I am the son of filmmakers. I was born with this bow tie made of celluloid on my collar.
- The director comes first. Writers should have no illusions about that. But the writer comes second. Directors too, should have no illusions about that.
- When I go to the cinema, I'm often frustrated because I can guess exactly what is going to happen about ten minutes into the screening. So, when I'm working on a subject, I'm always looking for the element of surprise.
- My life, my reading, everything about me revolves around the cinema. So for me, cinema is life, and vice-versa.
- [on weather or not his unmade Leningrad film will be his most pessimistic film] If death is a sign of pessimism, I guess so.
