“The respect for a musical score must come from the director... If the director has no power and has to surrender to budgetary constraints, this is where we have the problem.”Ennio Morricone
“It could have been extremely boring to write musical scores for only westerns of horror films. It was really exciting for me to work in all these various genres.”Ennio Morricone
“There are some directors who actually fear the possible success of music. They fear that the audience or the critics will think the film has worked because there was a very good music score.”Ennio Morricone
