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.

More quotes by 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
I realized than an author cannot also be a producer.
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
I'm not saying that the Americans had the same impact as the Jesuits, but I do see them as a very specialized populace, even in terms of being, to a degree, naïve. Because naiveté comes from lack of information.
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 function of the flashback is Freudian...You have to let them wander like the imagination or like a dream.
Sergio Leone
I think even in American schools, they must be studying in a specialized manner.
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
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
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
It is clear that the vehicle of the western was a very interesting vehicle for me to contraband some of my ideas.
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
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
Producing films was a distraction for me for which I payed dearly.
Sergio Leone
America is so varied and exciting that after six months, you go back and find it completely changed.
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
As Claude LeLouche said, his favorite American director is Sergio Leone. Not because I would be American, but because I was dealing with subject matter that an American could have just as easily dealt with.
Sergio Leone
There's my pessimism. Because I didn't know yet that type of film is always going to become more extinct, that there won't be anymore. Because there will always be more films that win five Oscars like Terms of Endearment.
Sergio Leone
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.
Sergio Leone
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.
