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

I don't shoot anything. I could never kill an animal. My dad does all the hunting, and he eats everything that he kills.

I can definitely make an argument for atheism. I was very educated in scripture and dogma and the church, particularly the Catholic Church. I could not possibly know that I disagreed with religion unless I knew what I was disagreeing with.

There's something nice and valuable and wonderful about the suspense and the classic horror that doesn't just crutch on blood and the almost pornographic view of fear.

I come from a place where I find it hard to identify with a label.

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.'
