Claudia Cardinale Quotations

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

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.

What's incredible is that I'm 75 and still working.

I'm no syllogism incarnate, but my wife makes me look like Immanuel Kant.

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.

It is with passion and dedication that I will be attentive to the needs of women and fight relentlessly for their rights

I never felt scandal and confession were necessary to be an actress. I've never revealed my self or even my body in films. Mystery is very important.

Marriage functions best when both partners remain somewhat unmarried.

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

But Luchino wanted to make the point, immediately, that he was the master on the set. And after became very, very close friends.

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

I've also been doing all the literature, Italian literature. But no, I don't like to repeat very much. I like to float with the camera.

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