Anytime you're the first to speak out against something, there's going to be a backlash.

I have a strong art-history background.

It's just assumed that a horror sequel is going to be bad. It's never going to be as good as the first one.

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

When I go see an R-rated horror movie, I want lots of violence. I want nudity. I want sex and violence mixed together. What's wrong with that? Am I the only one? I don't think so.

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 trust your instincts and hope the fans like what you do, but you don't gut check with the fans. If we're going to make a series, people are going to have a lot of opinions and if there's one overwhelming majority or one thing you continuously hear repeated from the fans, you certainly take that into account going into next season.
