I love historical movies. I want to make a violent medieval epic.

You know, the best thing you can say about a horror film is, 'Don't see it.'

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

You know, I'm from Boston, and in Boston, you are born with a baseball bat in your hand.

I always feel that there's no violence in a movie - it's not real, it's a magic trick. Nobody is really dying. In fact, the people that die in my movies have gone on to become extremely successful!

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.

People want to be disturbed when they go see a horror movie.
