This is what I do for fun - brainstorm about monsters!

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

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.

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

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 more work you put in on your outline and getting the skeleton of your story right, the easier the process is later.
