Films are dreams. Many, many critics say to me that my films are not good because they are too unbelievable, but this is my style. I tell stories like they are dreams. This is my imagination. For me, it would be impossible to do a film that is so precise, that resembles real life.

Horror is like a serpent; always shedding its skin, always changing. And it will always come back. It can't be hidden away like the guilty secrets we try to keep in our subconscious.

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

In Italy the censor is very old and there are many judges and psychiatrists who analyse you.

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

Horror by definition is the emotion of pure revulsion. Terror of the same standard, is that of fearful anticipation.

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