  "Q: Your father, Vincenzo Leone, was a film director. How did that affect your first impression of films?
  A: As a child, I was convinced that my father had invented the cinema him­self. I knew that my father was Santa Claus & that, on the other side of the cinematic field, beyond the geometric lines of the screen, great masses of tech­nicians, makeup artists, scene shifters, & hairdressers crowded in. I knew all about electric cables, cameras, micro­phones, reflectors. It’s probably also be­cause of this that the technical side of my moviemaking is so important. I go to the dubbing room as if I’m going to Mass, & mixage, for me, is the most sacred rite. I think filming itself is fun, especially in Death Valley & under the Brooklyn Bridge, where coyotes cry & ships toot their horns. But the Moviola is the altar of a voodoo rite. One sits down in front of the console & plays his hand with the heights of the heavens. I always knew that films were made by men & structured like prayers."
