Bad guys have always been my bag... I look mean without even trying.
Lee Van Cleef
I'd like to do more comedy, but i think my forte is still in the heavy. I'd love to do a comic lead, a musical.
Lee Van Cleef
I think the Europeans are a lot more spontaneous, more artistic to some degree. But I don't think they have the technical talent we do here in the states. Here people have been trained much more specifically - they know exactly what they're doing. The Europeans are perhaps slower, but in the end damn near as good.
Lee Van Cleef
If I could direct it [films] I would be very happy. But the economics of business don't always allow you to do what you want.
Lee Van Cleef
I'll never kick dogs, I'll never hurt a child, I'll never slap a woman - three things I won't do on film.
Lee Van Cleef
Audiences just naturally hate me on screen. I could play a role in a tuxedo and people would think I was rotten. You can do much more with a villain part.
Lee Van Cleef
I tried to learn the languages - Italian, Spanish, and German - not to successfully. Working on a European set isn't a hell of a lot different from working on an American set.
Lee Van Cleef
Being born with a pair of beady eyes was the best thing that ever happened to me.
Lee Van Cleef
You go where the work is. It can be in my own back yard, Israel, Spain, or Yugoslavia. We may have the greatest technical efficiency in the world, but our artistic values are not necessarily the best.
