I generally follow my own compass and make films about what's scaring me.

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.

You can pretend everything's fine, but if there's an unhappiness or you're not having sex or you're not communicating or you're made to feel third best in the house and you don't address it and you just try to put on a nice face and a smile, that kind of aggression and anger is going to come out in some sinister way.

I'd love to see us get to a point where you can make a movie and not worry about the limits of the violence. Then I think they'd get so violent that people would get bored of it.

I've realized that I can't multitask in the writing department; I can only kind of do one thing at a time.

I generally follow my own compass and make films about what's scaring me.

I want it to be able to hold up in 30 years' time. So, I'm really thinking about everything.
