What is important to me is that people know I respect the business of making movies.

Hopefully we'll get to a point where people realize movies don't cause violence. It just reflects the violence going on in the culture.

Chile could work as a double for L.A.; it's very production-friendly and there's terrific talent down there.

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

I can think of endless horrible things to do to people!

Horror is like comedy. Woody Allen's comedy is going to be very different from Ben Stiller's comedy which is going to be different from Adam Sandler's comedy which is going to be different from Judd Apatow's comedy. They're all comedy, but they're all very different types and you can enjoy all of them. Horror is the same way.

I love movies that are just straight-up exploitation, but the ones that endure and the ones that last are the ones where the filmmakers put in that extra level of thought; after 25 years you put them on in front of an audience, and they'll respond to it and enjoy it.
