More quotes by Sergio Leone
I think that men of my generation - not me in particular - are among the most fortunate men in the universe.
Sergio Leone
In my childhood, America was like a religion. Then, real-life Americans abruptly entered my life - in jeeps - and upset all my dreams.
Sergio Leone
It's very easy with the camera to show the positive side of something.
Sergio Leone
My mother was an actress. My father was an actor and a director. I am the son of filmmakers.
Sergio Leone
Cinema through spectacle, through the entertainment of spectacle, tells the story of many actual problems in life. Because who ever doesn't want to read between the lines can just enjoy the entertainment and the show and can go home happy.
Sergio Leone
Because the life that I live - the life that we all live - is filtered through [one's own] experience. It isn't necessarily optimistic when you look at the political phenomena, the different things that are going on in the world.
Sergio Leone
I had never thought of making a western even as I was making it.
Sergio Leone
Producing films was a distraction for me for which I payed dearly.
Sergio Leone
Young people of this century, like my son, didn't live through all those things that went on during that period of time, from 1930 to 1950. They're missing that experience. To go from a bicycle to a vehicle that takes somebody to the moon - only we saw this kind of thing.
Sergio Leone
All the people I've met, many outside of cinema, knew everything perfectly about one thing or one subject or one area.
Sergio Leone
I realized than an author cannot also be a producer.
Sergio Leone
I consciously chose a person like the bounty killer [of the Fistful trilogy] because he was the street sweeper of the desert, a man who put his life at risk exclusively for the money. I'm not saying that he went against the law, but he put himself within the wings of the law only when it was something that he could profit by.
Sergio Leone
My films are often characterized by the lack of women present in them, except for this last one [Once Upon a Time in America].
Sergio Leone
I never worry about what they think about me. Because I feel so far away from what my Italian colleagues have done that I almost automatically become an isolated director.
Sergio Leone
I don't want to do a war film per se. Nor do I want to do a political film.
Sergio Leone
America is so varied and exciting that after six months, you go back and find it completely changed.
Sergio Leone
There are directors, and there are authors. I think I am more of an author than a director.
Sergio Leone
There was also the myth of the western films. But my films are borrowed not from the story of the West in America but from the story of cinema.
Sergio Leone
I can't see America any other way than with a European's eyes. It fascinates me and terrifies me at the same time.
Sergio Leone
Charlie Chaplin, too, through spectacle, contraband certain ideas, put them through, ideas that even today are not being expressed by great statesmen and politicians.
Sergio Leone
