I've always been against trying to make a movie like another movie. That's lame. It's already been done, so why do it again?

I find myself maybe just pushing myself to create characters that are a little outside the box, and if that sort of gets the critics talking, then I can take it.

I do try and stay away from the stereotype and getting typecast.

I think that, back in the day, there used to be a lot of horror films that kind of had a checklist of what went into making the 'perfect horror film', and I think now people are raising the bar in the industry, as far as the types of horror films that are being made.

I do believe that when you know better, you do better. You know what was wrong about the last relationship, and hopefully you will do better the next time.

As long as I can make an audience feel something, I don't care whether it's a good thing or bad thing, just to feel something is important to me.

I have lots of records, quite a collection, actually, that I stole from my mom. I have the original 'Thriller' album and I have a really great 'Elton John's Greatest Hits,' and I also have a N.E.R.D. album. Records sound more original. They have more edge.
