Quote

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.

It's very difficult to be original.
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.
Sergio Leone
Image
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
Image
Probably the greatest writer of westerns himself was Homer. His character were never all good or all bad. They're half and half, these characters, as all human beings are.
Sergio Leone
Image
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
Image
All the people I've met, many outside of cinema, knew everything perfectly about one thing or one subject or one area.
Sergio Leone
Image
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.
Sergio Leone
Image
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
Image
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
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
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
Image
I think even in American schools, they must be studying in a specialized manner.
Sergio Leone
Image
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
Image
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.

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.

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
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
It's very easy with the camera to show the positive side of something.
Sergio Leone
Image
I had never thought of making a western even as I was making it.
Sergio Leone
Image
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.
