Sergio Leone citáty a výroky

„Přistoupil jsem k westernovému žánru s velkou láskou a také velkou ironií. Na první místo jsem postavil péči o věrohodnost. Pokud se týká násilí v mých filmech, jehož přemíra se mně někdy vytýká, jde o zásadní složku oné doby, kdy se na Divokém západě lidé dožívali věku 38 let. Copak to mohly být nějaké romantické časy, jak to ukazují američtí filmaři?“

Sergio Leone: Citáty anglicky

“Even in the greatest Westerns, the woman is imposed on the action, as a star, and is generally destined to be “had” by the male lead. But she does not exist as a woman. If you cut her out of the film, in a version which you can imagine, the film becomes much better. In the desert, the essential problem was to survive. Women were an obstacle to survival! Usually, the woman not only holds up the story, but she has no real character, no reality. She is a symbol. She is there without having any reason to be there, simply because one must have a woman, and because the hero must prove, in some way or another, that he has "sex-appeal."”

“I am showing the Old West as it really was. Cinema takes violence from life. Not the other way around. Americans treat Westerns with too much rhetoric.”
