What I'm looking for in my career, you know? You're looking for those lightning bolts of inspiration where someone says something that sparks an idea or suggests something strange.

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!

I try not to get too cute for cute's sake.

I do feel there's certainly some films where you can feel that the directors don't care about the genre and they don't care about their characters.

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.

I love superheroes and I love weird horror films... I could definitely feel that there was a lack of movies like The Martian being made: smart genre movies that can appeal to adults.

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.
