I just go with what excites me.

With horror movies, a bigger budget is actually your enemy. You want to feel the rough edges, the handmade quality to good horror films. Its a genre that benefits from not having everything at your disposal.

All movies are alchemy and time is one of the ingredients that goes into the alchemy. You want the time to be right; you don't want to rush it. You need the right script, the right cast and the right feeling in the culture.

We've always been a band who's taken forever to do things. After writing 'Persona' I think we wrote about four songs in three years!

In a weird way, it's much easier, when I don't have to worry about being a writer, to just worry about the director job, which is really fun.

I happen to like things that are funny and dramatic at the same time. I don't see the difference.

I do love writing but it is a lonely profession. You're lonely and optimistic at the same time.
