You can argue that the Terminator movies reboot their world each time they go back in time, but that doesn't negate the value of Terminator 1 and 2. So I don't really feel that way.

Zombies - obviously they're doing it in a much more expansive way on The Walking Dead - basically, what you used to do is you put a bunch of goo on an actor and have them shamble towards you, and it's a very effective creature. It always has tremendous impact, just that feeling of death coming for you; that's universally accepted.

A vampire is very easy; you just take a very good-looking actor, put some teeth on them, make them pale, and you're there.

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

I love acting. I think that's the best job in the world, but I don't really enjoy the career of it so much. You don't have as much control over your life or the material as you do, well, certainly when you're a director or a producer, so while I love acting, I prefer to make my living as a filmmaker, but my rule on acting is if somebody asks me to do a part, I'll do it.

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

It's important to continue to change and evolve in the way that the comics change and evolve.
