Mr Morricone are you excited to be at the premiere here in London?
Of course, I'm glad to be here. Finally I can see the final cut with my soundtrack
It's a great  pleasure and it's also very important
In 2007 in your Oscar speech you said it was a starting point, not a point of arrival...it was true
I said that and I confirm it: there's never a point of arrival
These awards are much more important for the cinema, for its propaganda and promotion
Obviously they are also important for its protagonists, including me. But it's mainly for the cinema
Just a few hours ago you received the Golden Globe nomination for best score
I'm very happy for the nomination but I didn't expect it. Not that I didn't think about it but I really didn't expect it
How did you work to come up with something different from the Sergio Leone movies' soundtracks?
It's been what, 40 or 50 years since Leone's westerns? Today it's completely different.
Maybe it's because this is not exactly a western movie in Leone's style.
The story of the Tarantino movie is about US history, a moment in the history of that country.
Where did you start from to compose the score? Did you see some of the scenes?
I started from the script and the chat I had with Tarantino.
Is there a composition you are particularly proud of?
Yes, there's a sort of a symphony, it lasts around 30 minutes.
It's a sort of a symphony, it's divided in four parts so formally it could be called symphony.
Will you play some of these compositions next year here in London? [he plays at the O2 Arena on 16 February 2016]
Yes! And there will be this concert...fingers crossed!
Thanks a lot and enjoy the movie
