Sam Peckinpah Quotes


Sam Peckinpah

The end of a picture is always an end of a life.

(on Kris Kristofferson) I like Kris because he writes poetry and he`s a fucking good man. Working with Kris on Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid (1973) was one of the great experiences of my life.

(interview in Le Devoir, 10/12/74) I don`t want to hear it said that I don`t like women! I tried to show in (Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia (1974)) that I adore them. They represent the positive pole of the film, the life force and instinct.

I want to be able to make westerns like (Akira Kurosawa) makes westerns.
