One of the great joys of life, now that you can afford a nice suit, is getting one for free. That's why I like to do press tours - I always say making movies is just an excuse to get free clothing.

Quentin Tarantino faced the same backlash when his films came out until eventually people felt they were actually much smarter.

The best movies now are called 'thrillers.' Because if you use the word 'horror,' people's associations are straight-to-video crap.

You have to write scenes and design scenes that are scary and horrific, but that are also watchable. I didn't want people to just feel like they got punched in the stomach.

I felt people responded to two things. One, obviously, is the gore and the scenes like the eye gauging.

I'm not interested in going after a part. I think if someone wants me for a part and approaches me then I'll take it on a case-by-case basis and see what that part is.

We live in an age now where so many people watch movies based on what Netflix recommends. It learns your taste and they really understand viewer habits.
