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 can't see America any other way than with a European's eyes. It fascinates me and terrifies me at the same time.
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
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
Just go to Disneyland. You have the impact of how the Americans think, how they dream, what they desire, how they have a good time, what they prefer. I associate this with young people. But many times I think this infantile quality is much better than the false, incomplete concept of adulthood.
Sergio Leone
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
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
I never worry about what they think about me. Because I feel so far away from what my Italian colleagues have done that I almost automatically become an isolated director.
Sergio Leone
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
The function of the flashback is Freudian...You have to let them wander like the imagination or like a dream.
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
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.
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
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
I don't want to do a war film per se. Nor do I want to do a political film.
Sergio Leone
Producing films was a distraction for me for which I payed dearly.
Sergio Leone
It's very difficult to be original.
Sergio Leone
I think that men of my generation - not me in particular - are among the most fortunate men in the universe.
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
All the people I've met, many outside of cinema, knew everything perfectly about one thing or one subject or one area.
Sergio Leone
My mother was an actress. My father was an actor and a director. I am the son of filmmakers.
