When I was a teenager, I read a lot of Poe.

But no one should have the right to manipulate my films in the first place.

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

'Macbeth' is one of the best operas ever, and doing it was a great experience. I added some things to the opera based from my experience on the movie - such as some of the special effects and bits of film - to make it new and interesting. It was a very good work and a very good experience.

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.

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.
