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.

Everybody is looking for a reason to not to take responsibility for their own actions in hand.

The thing that haunts a man the most is what he isn't ordered to do.

Historically, actors have been made very famous for roles that were something that was far - - Richard Widmark comes to mind (playing Tommy Udo in "Kiss of Death") or something like that, where you do some famous role and everybody imitates you for the rest of your life. But obviously it's much more fun to play something you're not than it is to play something you are.

I guess any movie actor can become a role model for audiences out there who enjoy him.

I don't know how everybody else feels, but I just long for reality rather than these made-up things.

Everybody puts importance in money on a film set.
