I went through a phase where I thought nostalgia was a bad thing.

My daughter, Asia, has been in many of my movies. I love working with her. In the beginning, I was not supportive of her being an actress, but now I think she is fantastic.

You must push everything to the absolute limit or else life will be boring.

To try and raise a budget for a film that is strictly for adults and both strong and graphic in content is not easy, especially when there is pressure to spend serious money on good special effects.

Horror by definition is the emotion of pure revulsion. Terror of the same standard, is that of fearful anticipation.

Fear has disappeared. No more fear. In Asia, it is different. They've discovered again the fear and the psychology of the characters. Without psychology, the horror film doesn't exist.

It irritated me that my fans kept wanting me to retread old ground.
