For a long time, I had a crazy girl dating habit.

I think in the late '80s and early '90s horror was dead.

As a kid, my idols were Sam Raimi and Peter Jackson, and I get into crazy races with myself. Raimi was 21 when he made movies, and when I didn't get 'Cabin Fever' made that fast I thought I'd failed.

I want people to see my name on a movie, pay money and know they're going to be entertained for 90 minutes.

'Eraserhead' is a weird, horrible nightmare, and it doesn't narratively make sense. Stuff's happening, but you honestly feel like you're in a nightmare, and it has such disturbing imagery that it stays with you forever once you've seen it.

'Troll 2' is one of the rare sequels where you don't have to waste time watching the first one, since the films have absolutely nothing to do with one another.

When I was filming the death scene [in Inglourious Basterds], and I'm killing somebody, I had to work myself up.
