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.

This is my life - I want to tell stories. There is something huge inside me that pushes me to tell stories, and tell stories for an audience and everybody.

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

Every writer, to some extent, writes about himself.

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.

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.
