I do like directing other people's material.

Yeah, I had an idea to make a very scary movie, based on a kind of serial murderer that preys on tourists.

And I always had this idea for making a movie about a femme fatale, because I like these characters. They're a lot of fun, they're sexy, they're manipulative, they're dangerous.

I have swum against the stream all my life. It's not something I feel uncomfortable with. Is it difficult? Is it unpleasant? You bet.

do i have political views? you bet! i think the best way to express them is in your work, and then get the hell off the stage

I'm always looking for a kind of new musical entity to sort of move into a motion picture venue

I don't see scary films. I certainly wouldn't go see my films.
