Sergio Leone
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
We're talking a very cultivated people, but I found as cultivated as they were, they were uninformed about the personages who weren't American. They knew everything about America, but much less about other countries.
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 had never thought of making a western even as I was making it.
Sergio Leone
I don't want to do a war film per se. Nor do I want to do a political film.
Sergio Leone
I think even in American schools, they must be studying in a specialized manner.
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.
