When you manage to express something with a look and the music instead of saying it with words or having the character speak, I think it's a more complete work.

Especially in gangster films, with the gangster's moll - she would always be more or less of an object. And I'm not convinced of this theory. Because I think even gangsters' women have brains. They think and even, as we say, have balls.

The Jesuits use this kind of training, or, let's say it this way: The Jesuit General imposes this kind of structure he encourages the young men to specialize. Because getting ten of them together, you have the best of everything. But this does not mean that this system is good for the Jesuits all over. They're all available to the cause.

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.

Image
I have to be honest about one thing. When I want to America, no on asked me how I was. Everyone always asked me, How much do you make?

Image
It's natural to me that someone who loved that type of music or that type of spectacle would copy it, to do something, a video. It seems the most natural thing in the world to me.
Sergio Leone
Image
From Ennio [Morricone] I ask for themes that clothe my characters easily. He's never read a script of mine to compose the music, because many times he's composed the music before the script is ever written.
Sergio Leone
Image
It's very difficult to be original.
Sergio Leone
Image
I even had success with commercials, which is strange, because out of the six ideas, two won the platinum Minerva in France - it's the Oscar for their commercials. One was about the Renault diesel and the other about the regular Renault.
Sergio Leone
Image
I think politics should be expressed in this way and not in other ways. And not just politics - sentiments, even certain states of being.
Sergio Leone
Image
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
Image
It is clear that the vehicle of the western was a very interesting vehicle for me to contraband some of my ideas.

Image
I realized than an author cannot also be a producer.

Image
I think that men of my generation - not me in particular - are among the most fortunate men in the universe.

The function of the flashback is Freudian...You have to let them wander like the imagination or like a dream.

Image
I think, to go to the bottom of it all, that the films I have made and my kind of film-making is a hybrid type of film-making - in that it isn't American, it isn't Italian.

There are directors, and there are authors. I think I am more of an author than a director.
