It's incredible that they censor films. It's sad.

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

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.

The Opera was a very cold film, a hopeless and dark film, no hope, no love.

The process of writing and directing drives you to such extremes that it's natural to feel an affinity with insanity. I approach that madness as something dangerous, and I'm afraid, but also I want to go to it, to see what's there, to embrace it. I don't know why, but I'm drawn.

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

I'm Dario Argento, and my style is something recognizable I think by the audience.
