A Quote by Patrice Leconte

I am not a fan of westerns particularly. — © Patrice Leconte
I am not a fan of westerns particularly.
I've always been a fan of Westerns, but my favorite kind of Westerns mostly were Sam Peckinpah's Westerns, and they mainly took place in the West that was changing.
I actually don't like westerns much. I like good westerns, but it isn't my preferred genre. There are all kinds of westerns: acid westerns, '70s westerns, Nicholas Ray's neurotic westerns. The ones I tend to like are nutso westerns.
Westerns are a type of picture which everybody can see and enjoy. Westerns always make money. And they always increase a star's fan following.
I watched westerns when I was a kid, like everybody else, but I wasn't a total nerd or geek about it. I kind of fell in love with westerns heavily when I started watching Sergio Leone's westerns.
I would very much like to make Westerns. I love Westerns. I've worked on many Westerns in my youth, in Spain and here, and I love working on them.
I'm a big fan of period pieces, and I'm a big fan of the old-time westerns.
I am a fan of magic and fantasy, particularly when it's grounded in reality.
I like fiction set in the South, and I'm a fan of literary westerns.
I am inspired by both Japanese Samurai films, in particular the films of Kurosawa, and how they share the spirit of American Westerns, with the influences running in both directions, and including the 'Spaghetti Westerns' and films of Sam Peckinpah.
I am a big fan of smelly cheeses but the rest of the family don't seem to be particularly keen on them.
There is no other genre that deals with America better, in a subtextual way, than the Westerns being made in the different decades. The '50s Westerns very much put forth an Eisenhower idea of America, whereas the Westerns of the '70s were very cynical about America.
I was a fan of westerns growing up. Every boy wanted to ride a horse and be a cowboy.
I decided to write Westerns because there was a terrific market for Westerns in the '50s. There were a lot of pulp magazines, like 'Dime Western' and '10 Story Western' that were still being published. The better ones paid two cents a word. And I thought, 'I like Westerns.'
I want to be able to make westerns like Akira Kurosawa makes westerns.
Westerns are cool, man. I'm big on Westerns. I just love the grittiness.
The Westerns have probably affected me more than any one thing, Western-related material. I love Westerns.
