Paradise is too perfect for humanity.

I like films to have something inside, I don't mean a message, I mean something from the soul.

Every writer, to some extent, writes about himself.

Horror is like a serpent; always shedding its skin, always changing. And it will always come back. It can't be hidden away like the guilty secrets we try to keep in our subconscious.

The Opera was a very cold film, a hopeless and dark film, no hope, no love.

I like to watch many things, especially strange films and something recent, not just the story.

Each film I make changes me in some way. When I start the picture I'm one person and by the time I finish I'm another.
