I grew up just outside of Austin, and my upbringing was fairly rural.

It's my job in Hollywood to find roles where I get to be a character not a bathing suit.

Everybody enjoys when a woman is her own character in a movie or otherwise.

I'm a big horror fan. I'm a genre fan. I like to make these movies. They're my favorite kinds of movies to make.

There is a common, puritanical way that we look at things where, if it involves sexuality, somehow the women must be compromised. It's just chauvinistic to deny women their sexuality. It's about empowering. It comes down to choices. If the choices are available and they're making that choice, they're not being exploited.

The feminist movement is often clouded with Gloria Steinem's perspective, but I feel like denying women their sexuality is just as chauvinistic.

It requires bravery to do something no one else around you is doing.
