Image
I want to do what I want when I want to do it not be dictated to by audiences.
Dario Argento
Image
But no one should have the right to manipulate my films in the first place.
Dario Argento
Image
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.
Dario Argento
Image
I wanted something new, the supernatural. The witch, the sorcerer, I love this. I love the films of the witch and sorcerers and magic, its wonderful!
Dario Argento
Image
It irritated me that my fans kept wanting me to retread old ground.
Dario Argento
Image
In each of my characters there is a little of me. Not strictly autobiographical but a little piece of my soul.
Dario Argento

If you don't like my movies, don't watch them.
Dario Argento
Image
My daughter, Asia, has been in many of my movies. I love working with her. In the beginning, I was not supportive of her being an actress, but now I think she is fantastic.

Image
'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.

Without psychology, the horror film doesn't exist.
Dario Argento
Image
The Opera was a very cold film, a hopeless and dark film, no hope, no love.
Dario Argento
Image
I'm Dario Argento, and my style is something recognizable I think by the audience.
Dario Argento
Image
Fear has disappeared. No more fear. In Asia, it is different. They've discovered again the fear and the psychology of the characters. Without psychology, the horror film doesn't exist.
Dario Argento
Image
Then I realized my early work did have something special that audiences adored apart from what I humbly thought about them. They occupy a distinguished niche in Italian film history and probably always will.
Dario Argento
Image
The process of writing and directing drives you to such extremes that it's natural to feel an affinity with insanity. I approach that madness as something dangerous, and I'm afraid, but also I want to go to it, to see what's there, to embrace it. I don't know why, but I'm drawn.
Dario Argento
Image
I like to watch many things, especially strange films and something recent, not just the story.
Dario Argento
Image
Paradise is too perfect for humanity.
Dario Argento
Image
In Italy the censor is very old and there are many judges and psychiatrists who analyse you.
Dario Argento
Image
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.
Dario Argento
Image
I've been lucky enough to have had the luxury of being able to make the picture I've wanted to make each time on my own terms and without compromise.
