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

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

Maybe because I'm a child of the 80's, but for me a sequel is a story that follows the previous one, and sometimes if you haven't seen the original then you don't understand the second one.

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.

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.

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.
