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.

My life and career is my own adventure.

I want to do what I want when I want to do it not be dictated to by audiences.

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.

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

Young girls of 13 or 12 are great actors.

Americans are very enthusiastic. We have a new generation of moviegoers who love great horror films. I am a very imaginative man, and for me, it's easy to speak with my dark side. I have very beautiful, interesting nightmares.
