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

Any film which views the darker side of life, which is death with a sense of humor, is very much to my taste.

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

Los Angeles is an industry town, and it has great facilities and personnel. The disadvantage is that everyone there seems to talk about the same subject matter.

Music is the subliminal connecting adhesive in film, or at least in narrative feature films.
