Maybe when I stop making movies, I'll understand my work better.

But no one should have the right to manipulate my films in the first place.

I want to do what I want when I want to do it not be dictated to by audiences.

But you know, as you say, the original versions of my films are getting out there, slowly.

Then I realized my early work did have something special that audiences adored apart from what I humbly thought about them. They occupy a distinguished niche in Italian film history and probably always will.

When I was a teenager, I read a lot of Poe.

I like to watch many things, especially strange films and something recent, not just the story.
