When You Hang A Man,

Everybody Puts Importance In Money On A Film Set.

When I Look Back On My Life, I Don't Have Regrets About What I Didn't Do. If I'd Become A Musician, It Could Have Ruined My Life.

If You Get A Certain Amount Of Notoriety For Doing Something, And You Can Stick To That Type Of Project For The Rest Of Your Life And Make A Decent Living, I Think You Still Have A Responsibility To Stretch. Flexibility Is What Keeps You Alive.

I'm In The Saddle Every Day Playing A Screwball. And Then Somebody Comes Along And Says, "how Would You Like To Go To Italy And Spain And Do An Italian/spanish/german Co-production With An Italian Director Who's Only Directed One Movie?" It Wasn't Like I Was Going There To Be With Federico Fellini. But Something Was There, And I Thought, Well, I Loved This Story When It Was Told By Akira Kurosawa; Maybe This Is A Good Idea. That's An Instinctive Moment. A Fistful Of Dollars Was Made.

Once You Finish A Film, It Doesn't Belong To You Anymore - It Belongs To The Audience To Interpret It The Way They Feel Like Interpreting.
