“It's fantastic because I've been living thousands of lives, not only my life.”

“Many other movies, but for me The Professionals is the best I did in Hollywood.”

“Yes, they wanted me to sign a contract of exclusivity, and I refused.”

“But to do this kind of work, you have to be very strong, otherwise you lose your personality, your identity.”

“And I had a big opportunity with Richard Brooks, The Professionals, which is really a magnificent movie.”

“But Sergio Leone invented totally the way of, you know, the details, the eyes, the hands - fantastic.”

“But we did the Pink Panther not in Hollywood, in Italy.”

“And also, Sergio Leone was considered in Italy a director of category B, not a big director.”
