There's a difference between the way I see it and the character's interpretation of the events, so the rules within the film are the rules within the film.

When people would ask me what I was doing, I'd be like, 'It's a horror film.' 'What is it about?' 'You'll just have to see it.' I really didn't want to explain it because it's really tough to explain without it just sounding really ridiculous.

I had the nightmare when I was like nine or ten or something, I always remembered pieces of that nightmare, the feeling from it. I've always wanted to make a horror film and so I always kept thinking about that nightmare.

It's just about having faith in what I wrote and following through on the plan and making sure I get the pieces the way that I need them. It's just about executing properly in production and then in post, you know, it's working [with] and trusting my editor, and then also playing the film for people and seeing how they react.

My rule is to use whatever feels right at the moment and then break that rule if you want.

I like too many different kinds of movies to only want to do one kind.

I love horror movies, but it's not the only thing I want to do.
