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

The film, 'Aftershock,' for me is really about how the minor problems in life that we think are so major ultimately mean nothing when a tragedy happens, when a real problem happens.

One of the great elements of the supernatural is having that mystery and letting people's imaginations run wild with it.

Look at comic books. It used to be something that only geeks were into. And now it's everywhere.

I think that many people are ashamed when they feel afraid. There's this thing in our society that you're not allowed to feel scared. You have to be a man and put on a brave face, but we all have fears.

I'll direct any movie starring a monkey or the Olsen Twins. Preferably both.

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