I always feel that there's no violence in a movie - it's not real, it's a magic trick. Nobody is really dying. In fact, the people that die in my movies have gone on to become extremely successful!

Even post-WWII, nobody talked about the Holocaust. It wasn't until the '50s that people started talking about it.

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

I think filmmakers, in general... There are some awesome, really great filmmakers - but on the whole, filmmakers, actors, I think they are the biggest bunch of whiny, over-paid babies on the planet.

Much of my youth was spent in the parking lot or inside a Dunkin' Donuts.

I've realized that I can't multitask in the writing department; I can only kind of do one thing at a time.

If someone gets up and walks out of the movie, it means it's really affected them.
