I'm full of fears and I do my best to avoid difficulties and any kind of complications. I like everything around me to be clear as crystal and completely calm.

Fear isn't so difficult to understand. After all, weren't we all frightened as children? Nothing has changed since Little Red Riding Hood faced the big bad wolf. What frightens us today is exactly the same sort of thing that frightened us yesterday. It's just a different wolf. This fright complex is rooted in every individual.

Luck is everything... My good luck in life was to be a really frightened person. I'm fortunate to be a coward, to have a low threshold of fear, because a hero couldn't make a good suspense film.

If it's a good movie, the sound could go off and the audience would still have a perfectly clear idea of what was going on.

Television has brought back murder into the home - where it belongs.

Some of our most exquisite murders have been domestic, performed with tenderness in simple, homey places like the kitchen table.
