To try and raise a budget for a film that is strictly for adults and both strong and graphic in content is not easy, especially when there is pressure to spend serious money on good special effects.

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

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

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

I also don't like films that are made just to make money, no this kind of film I don't like.

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.

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