To turn a human being into a part-canine or lupine creature takes a good deal of artistry and money.

Number one rule in Hollywood is to maintain relationships with successful people, and you may find yourself involved in some very cool projects.

On the lower budget pictures, you go overtime more, you're sort of scrambling for the shots and cobbling together more ideas at the end.

All sizes of film sets have the same level of excitement and friction and tension and then vast sections of boredom that define the process, so I love it all.

Now that I'm a professional writer it's a little more difficult to enjoy a movie if it's not well done and a lot of the horror movies are not great, but when something's really good, like I really loved The Conjuring. That just scared the bejesus out of me.

When a horror movie is well done, I love it and I put it up in esteem with any other genre.

The most challenging work is producing. The physical act of getting a production up and running is extremely taxing, and you never have any guarantee that your years of work on any given project will ever bear fruit.
