There's no flesh or blood within this cloak to kill. There's only an idea. Ideas are bulletproof.

I'm a very smug show-off at heart. I'm altogether too pleased with myself. The big boost for me is to be able to turn out something that I think is pretty marvelous, like 'Lost Girls.' I'm not in it for money, I'm just in it for the glory.

I think that we need mythology. We need a bedrock of story and legend in order to live our lives coherently.

I love films that are made with almost no budget.

Magic is a state of mind. It is often portrayed as very black and gothic, and that is because certain practitioners played that up for a sense of power and prestige. That is a disservice. Magic is very colorful. Of this, I am sure.

My experience of life is that it is not divided up into genres; it’s a horrifying, romantic, tragic, comical, science-fiction cowboy detective novel. You know, with a bit of pornography if you're lucky.

If I have to have a past, then I prefer it to be multiple choice.
