It takes tremendous discipline to control the influence, the power you have over other people's lives.

I think being able to age gracefully is a very important talent. It is too late for me.

Every movie I make teaches me something. That's why I keep making them.

Everything that you do is a challenge. And acting is just building up your concentration and being able to listen and to do the ridiculous.

I love every aspect of the creation of motion pictures and I guess I am committed to it for life.

You have to go with your instincts. I remember when I was about to make "Fistful of Dollars" a big article came out that said, "Italian Westerns are finished." I said, "Swell." Then, of course, the film came out, and it did something. I'm so glad for the dozens of times I haven't listened along the way.

A Love like this happens but once in a lifetime
