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.

I think a good actor will always know the character better than anybody.

I try not to be spectacular with the camera. I try to be a witness of what's going on.

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 really don't like to go for the stereotypes. I try to give you characters that you don't know until you get to know them, and [decide] how you should feel about them.

There's so much stuff going on behind the cameras. Sometimes people think these things are done certain ways and when you watch that you see how hard and down and dirty it was.

In another life, I would love to be the art guy - a production designer or a maybe even a composer.
