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.

As a storyteller, when you're writing a movie and when you're directing, you want to keep people entertained. That's the whole point, right? It has to be entertaining.

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

Only really good comedies and really good horror movies get a verbal response out of the audience. People will scream. People will laugh.

As a director, there is nothing more fun than seeing an audience screaming and jumping. You are the ultimate puppet master, controlling the emotions of the audience.

Usually you always see first cut is an extended version, because it's basically everything you shot, and you have that version and then you start cutting stuff out.

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