freud gone italian-director opened
I've never gone into analysis. But Freud opened a door, I know.

italian-director
So I haven't thought about the critics for a long time.
captured close famous including school sophia studio watched
My mother was a famous photographer for actresses, including Sophia Loren, Gina Lollobrigida, and so many. I remember I went to school close to my mother's studio, and for years, I went to the studio after school and just watched how she captured these beauties.
absolute life people
You must push everything to the absolute limit or else life will be boring. People will be boring.
secret skins trying
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.
beautiful girl men
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. I certainly don`t have to justify myself to anyone about this. I don`t care what anyone thinks or reads into it. I have often had journalists walk out of interviews when I say what I feel about this subject.
dream real imagination
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.
kind making-money film
I also don't like films that are made just to make money, no this kind of film I don't like.
interesting special opera
'Macbeth' is one of the best operas ever, and doing it was a great experience. I added some things to the opera based from my experience on the movie - such as some of the special effects and bits of film - to make it new and interesting. It was a very good work and a very good experience.
stories want audience
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.
movie watches ifs
If you don't like my movies, don't watch them.
years long style
I wanted to get back to my style of 20 years ago after a long period of exploring horror and fantasy themes.
friday able cameras
I used a Luma crane, a wounderful device; it makes the camera able to go anywhere. It was also used on Friday the 13th Part 3.
