Theres Nothing Gratuitous About My Films.

In Italy The Censor Is Very Old And There Are Many Judges And Psychiatrists Who Analyse You.

I Went Through A Phase Where I Thought Nostalgia Was A Bad Thing.

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.

When I See A Film I've Finished, It's Like Another Person Made It. Like Another Mind.

It Irritated Me That My Fans Kept Wanting Me To Retread Old Ground.
