I almost never try to make the audience comfortable. I wouldn't want that if I were in the audience.

I prefer a life in which we don't take ourselves too seriously.

I don't generally find myself listening to the music of a film unless there's something awfully wrong with it.

I think I've only done one horror movie, Psycho III. That was a walk in the park compared to a romantic comedy.

I don't personally see my work as being dark. What interests me is a balance between light and dark.

I'm one of those people who is actually inspired by a deadline. I might not sleep for many days on end, it may not be good for my health, but it definitely helps.

I would like to do a science fiction film some day. Star Wars seems really to have destroyed the genre, which at one time offered great musical opportunities.
