I try to think about me, as an audience member, and it [inspiration for movies] comes from there.

It's always very interesting to bet who's going to go first and who is going to have the most unbelievable death. It's always fun to play with that and create more expectation. It's an interesting part of horror movie.

It's always about trying to do something that's different and not repeating yourself because then you lose your creative stamina. You need to have new challenges.

You have to be realistic in the use of blood in the movies. There is a little bit more than a gallon in a human being. If you have a few thousand people, that makes a lot of blood. I'm very realistic in my use of blood.

I'm always on the side of the characters, rather than the side of the people attacking them. I get realistic. It's not gratuitous.

I follow my instincts and I always think about what movie I would like to see. If I want to see it then I'm guessing that some other people might want to see it as well. I never try to think about what people will love or will like, because when you start to think for other people that's where you lose track of the real motivation.

When I approach a story or movie, the story is the most important thing.
