I just finished a film a few days ago, and I came home and said I learned so much today. So if I can come home from working on a little film after doing it for 45 years and say, I learned so much today, that shows something about the cinema. Because the cinema is very young. It's only 100 years old.

I made this movie for $40,000, which was this little black-and-white horror film called Dementia 13, which we made in about nine days.

We had access to too much money, too much equipment, and little by little, we went insane.

I never went to a psychologist or psychiatrist in my life. Never. You know, Italians are a little prejudiced against that kind of thing.
