It's very flattering to feel like you actually helped create a sub-genre.

I don't want people to feel: "Why am I watching this? It's sick and sadistic." I want people to watch and think it's scary but they can't wait to see what happens next. I also wanted to make a movie that was watchable.

Las Vegas is a 24-hour city. It never stops.

I think in life we get very caught up in the minutia and, unfortunately, it generally takes some sort of tragedy in your life to put things in perspective.

When I'm filming a kill scene [as a director], I just get happier and happier as we chop up body parts.

Hopefully we'll get to a point where there are absolutely no restrictions on any kind of violence in movies. I'd love to see us get to a point where you can go to theaters and see movies unrated and that people know its not real violence. It's all pretend. It's all fake. It's just acting. It's just magic tricks.

It's just assumed that a horror sequel is going to be bad. It's never going to be as good as the first one.
