I've been lucky enough to have had the luxury of being able to make the picture I've wanted to make each time on my own terms and without compromise.

I like women, especially beautiful ones. If they have a good face and figure, I would much prefer to watch them being murdered than an ugly girl or man.

Without psychology, the horror film doesn't exist.

I'm very interested in portraying homosexual man and woman in my films because I'm interested in their lives and their problems.

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

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

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.
