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

If you make a film normally it's all right, the distributors are helpful and cooperative. But if you make a film that's a little stange, a little bizarre, then all the time it's a struggle with them.

In each of my characters there is a little of me. Not strictly autobiographical but a little piece of my soul.

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.

Americans are very enthusiastic. We have a new generation of moviegoers who love great horror films. I am a very imaginative man, and for me, it's easy to speak with my dark side. I have very beautiful, interesting nightmares.

Each film I make changes me in some way. When I start the picture I'm one person and by the time I finish I'm another.

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