The one negative to horror is that it's always law of diminishing returns. When you go in the funhouse, the ride is never scary the second time. You will never have that pure experience as when you first watch it.

I've always been fascinated by the idea that there's no such thing as evil; it's all in your point of view. To one group a suicide bomber is the antichrist and to one he's a hero.

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

A comedy can actually get funnier and funnier. Even though you know the joke, you enjoy it so much, it's the facial expression, you laugh. The laugh doesn't wear off. It could be with you for thirty years.

I love movies that have that resonating scare, that really get under your skin and make you think.

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

If someone gets up and walks out of the movie, it means it's really affected them.
