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.

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.

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

When you're playing a tough guy, all the other guys want to be tough right back at you and it amps them up.

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.

Acting is the most pure fun as far as jobs go, but it can be limiting in terms of freedom of expression. You are never the master of the story, just a part of it. But writing and directing give you the power of the gods.
