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

I have control issues. For sure, no question.

I think characters are most terrifying when they're relatable. It's best when your most horrible characters make sense, and are believable. That's when a movie is most terrifying.

Life is a series of avoiding horrible situations until ultimately you're dead. That's how I feel about things.

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.

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.

People want to be disturbed when they go see a horror movie.
