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

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.

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

I just go with what excites me.

I don't like nihilistic characters. As bad guys they're great, but as heroes they don't work.

The greatest villain of all time is The Joker - he always has been, and I don't know anyone who's not going to have Heath Ledger's performance burnt into their brains for the rest of their lives.

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