The psychiatrists examine you and ask you about your life and work, and then they decide whether your film can be shown or not. It's a horrible experience.

I went through a phase where I thought nostalgia was a bad thing.

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

I like women, especially beautiful ones. If they have a good face and figure, I would much prefer to watch them being murdered than an ugly girl or man.

It irritated me that my fans kept wanting me to retread old ground.

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

I've been lucky enough to have had the luxury of being able to make the picture I've wanted to make each time on my own terms and without compromise.
