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

Movie stars need to retain some of that mystique if you are a big movie star.

I want an iPhone 5, someone said something nasty on twitter, or my boyfriend isn't texting me back, like whatever the thing is that seems so major in your life, when a real disaster hits you suddenly strips it all away and you see what's really important and who you really are.

As a kid, my idols were Sam Raimi and Peter Jackson, and I get into crazy races with myself. Raimi was 21 when he made movies, and when I didn't get 'Cabin Fever' made that fast I thought I'd failed.

I think in the late '80s and early '90s horror was dead.

I want to have an ending where people say: "That's the most shocking ending I've ever seen in a mainstream horror film."

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