Without psychology, the horror film doesn't exist.

You must push everything to the absolute limit or else life will be boring.

Young girls of 13 or 12 are great actors.

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.

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

I like women, especially beautiful ones. If they have a good face and figure, I would much prefer to watch them being murdered than an ugly girl or man.

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.
