More quotes by Sergio Leone
I realized than an author cannot also be a producer.
Sergio Leone
I think that men of my generation - not me in particular - are among the most fortunate men in the universe.
Sergio Leone
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.
Sergio Leone
It is clear that the vehicle of the western was a very interesting vehicle for me to contraband some of my ideas.
Sergio Leone
[The director] has to, I feel, be one step back, not only from cinema, but also from politics and all these issues in order to tell and depict the situation that spreads to people.
Sergio Leone
It's very easy with the camera to show the positive side of something.
Sergio Leone
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?
Sergio Leone
Whoever would like to look and see what someone is saying behind all the show, glitter, scenery, whatever it may be, and see what ideas are being expressed beyond and below and above that, can do that, as well.
Sergio Leone
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.
Sergio Leone
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.
Sergio Leone
The world is in America. In Italy is only Italy. France is full of France. Germany is full of Germany. In a continent that contains the entire world, contradictions are, of course, constantly arising.
Sergio Leone
Sometimes, I even recite the role to the actor if it's not clear. And I beg them not to imitate me, because I'm not a good actor.
Sergio Leone
Producing films was a distraction for me for which I payed dearly.
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
There are directors, and there are authors. I think I am more of an author than a director.
Sergio Leone
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
The very fact of seeking specialization is probably what makes America so great in these two hundred years. But also, the sensation that somebody who wants to understand America doesn't really need to visit it much.
Sergio Leone
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
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
The function of the flashback is Freudian...You have to let them wander like the imagination or like a dream.
Sergio Leone
