Directing is physically exciting because there's a ticking clock, you're working with people, it's very social, it's very enjoyable.

Sometimes I feel like I'm seeing it all at once and it's too much. My heart fills up like a balloon that's about to burst.

I certainly believe that what we perceive as humans is just the tip of the iceberg. I don't necessarily believe in vampires or werewolves or that kind of thing, but I believe there is definitely a realm we don't necessarily have access to.

Most of us live in artificial environments and then we go to work in artificial environments and the world becomes something that you see through a window.

I'm not a believer in luck, but I do believe you need it.

I think vampires are a timeless powerful archetype that can tap into people's psyches.

If a scene is longer than three pages, it better be for a good reason.
