“I’m a student of violence
because i’m a student of the human heart.”
“I regard everything with irony, including the face i see in
the mirror when i wake up in the morning.”
Sam Peckinpah
“For me, Hollywood no longer exists. It’s past history.
I’ve decided to stay in Mexico because i believe i can make my pictures
with greater freedom from here.”

“Sure i loved them. I love outsiders. Look, unless you conform, give in completely,
you’re going to be alone in this world. But by giving in, you lose your independence
as a human being.So i go for the loners. I’m nothing if not a romantic and i’ve got this
weakness for losers on the grand scale, as well as a kind of sneaky affection for all the
misfits and drifters in the world.”
Sam Peckinpah
“I want to be able to make westerns like
Akira Kurosawa makes westerns.”
Sam Peckinpah

[on which film directors have clout]
“Kurosawa has it. Fellini. Bergman.
But no American has it. ”

“I wish i could make a film that good. Compared with John Huston,
i'm still in seventh grade, but i'm moving up.”
Sam Peckinpah
“There is a great streak of violence in every human being.
If it is not channeled and understood, it will break out in war or in madness.”
Sam Peckinpah
“Well, killing a man isn't clean and quick and simple. It's bloody and awful.
And maybe if enough people come to realize that shooting somebody
isn't just fun and games, maybe we'll get somewhere.”
Sam Peckinpah
“The whole underside of our society has always been violence and still is.
Churches, laws - everybody seems to think that man is a noble savage.
But he's only an animal. A meat-eating, talking animal. Recognize it.
He also has grace and love and beauty. But don't say to me we're not violent.”
Sam Peckinpah
“War is the continuation of politics (state policy) by other means.”
Carl von Clausewitz

-We are spreading the German culture throughout a desperate world.”
