I felt much better when I started to become myself a bit more and to spend time with people who I genuinely liked as opposed to the people I felt I should be spending time with.

I prefer to make a film that people have a really intense reaction to than have a film that people feel ambivalent about.

Being from Australia, I've never even touched a gun. It's so not a part of our culture.

Often, people who want to make interesting films simply don't have the money to do it.

For me it would be unhealthy to be a method actor; I'm not mentally stable enough for that - I need to separate my two worlds.

For me, I see filmmaking as art.

I love horror films, but it's more than an adrenaline rush for me. I love them because I know they scare me. It's kind of like I go on roller coasters, but I'm terrified of roller coasters, sort of thing.
