Claudia Cardinale quotes:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Marriage functions best when both partners remain somewhat unmarried.

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.

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