Everything I've ever worked on has been hard to classify.

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

The most fun characters to work with are characters that are complicated.

Ive found that if you just try to make the film you want, youll find the right audience. If you try to please everyone, youre going to make really boring films.

That's kind of how I've based my career. I find talented people and beg me to let me work with them.

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.

The truth is, writing and directing are two very different jobs. They're not even remotely the same job. It took me a while, as a director, to understand that.
