I think there's a part when you sign your soul to the devil and start working in Los Angeles that you also sign away that you could be a human being in anyone's eye. You're like a robot!

I think there's an instinct to make grotesque horror films that are purely carnal, like the 'Saw' movies.

I'm not opposed to nude scenes, if they're appropriate. I'm not against them morally. But I personally no longer find movie nudity to be worth my while.

I seem to be stuck in the '60s, and my favorite music, cars, and women's fashion come from that era. And the sense of social rebellion. It was a good time for a lot of things.

I had always been a reader and a skeptic, so when I was old enough to break away from organized religion, it just came naturally.

My very best friend died in a car accident when I was 16 years old. That was the hardest blow emotionally that I have ever had to endure. Suddenly, you realize tomorrow might not come. Now I live by the motto, 'Today is what I have.'

Reading keeps me sane. Growing up, it was my scape, my alternative; it provided both rebellion and peace.
