I think the more honest you are with the storytelling, the better it works.

I don't want to spoon-feed the audience, like, "This is the funny guy, this is one you hate, this is the one you like." A lot of movies do that. They don't really give you a choice. They show you the jock, and he's an idiot, and everybody has to hate him. You have no choice.

If you think about it, a lot of great horror films have bad sequels just because the market demands you to make the other one right away.

I'm inspired when I find out about something that I didn't know was a remake.

I like to get the audiences cozy in their seats, feeling safe, and suddenly they'll be shocked out of their minds.

Every day I spend in Hollywood I start to realize how many films are made with no heart and no love. They just do it for the paycheck and I cannot imagine making a film that way.

I love just about every aspect of the filmmaking except acting. I would never be able to do that, but the rest I really enjoy.
