Dario Argento's quotes
- The sound, it looks wonderful
- We had many good directors - John Carpenter, Brian De Palma - but things have become polluted by business, money and bad relationships. The success of the horror genre has led to its downfall.
- Horror by definition is the emotion of pure revulsion. Terror of the same standard, is that of fearful anticipation.
- I love Russian cinema. Dziga Vertov is my favorite. [Andrei Tarkovsky] so-so. I prefer the fantasy of [Sergei Eisenstein]'s October 1917 (Ten Days that Shook the World) (1927).
- Deep Red (1975) is my favorite movie. The character David Hemmings plays is very much based on my own personality. It was a very strong film, very brutal, and of course the censors were upset. It was cut by almost an hour in some countries.
- 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.
- Is it right to be obsessed with looking at terrible things and sharing them with other people?
- 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.
