The film, 'Aftershock,' for me is really about how the minor problems in life that we think are so major ultimately mean nothing when a tragedy happens, when a real problem happens.

You do need an outlet to release all of those fears. You build it up and then, when you go to a movie theater, it's the last place that it's socially acceptable to be terrified. It's saying that, for the next 90 minutes, you're allowed to be afraid and you're not a coward for feeling that way.

Creative writing and shooting are muscles that atrophy. But when you work them, you become a self-generator who can branch out.

Look at comic books. It used to be something that only geeks were into. And now it's everywhere.

You know, the best thing you can say about a horror film is, 'Don't see it.'

In musical theater, if you have a song, it has to advance the plot. If you have a song in a musical and it does not advance the plot, it gets dropped.

As a kid, I was the neighbourhood baby-sitter - very responsible, always in charge.
