Creative writing and shooting are muscles that atrophy. But when you work them, you become a self-generator who can branch out.

My phobias worsen as I get older. I'm scared of flying, driving. I'm terrified of sharks. I'm a germaphobe. But I try to face my fears; I do. Well, most of them.

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

Anytime you make a movie, the goal is a wide theatrical release, with the right distributor.

One of the great joys of life, now that you can afford a nice suit, is getting one for free. That's why I like to do press tours - I always say making movies is just an excuse to get free clothing.

When I'm filming a kill scene [as a director], I just get happier and happier as we chop up body parts.

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