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!

Sometimes you have this tragedy which turns into an incredible opportunity.

If I don't come home covered head to toe in fake blood then I haven't done my job as a horror director.

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

If you are having fun on the set, you are not getting things done.

Everybody has to know where they're coming from, what they're doing, why they're doing it, who they are. These are essentials.

I like movies like 'Mother's Day', where you watch it, and you've liked it for years as a horror movie.
