When you're a director you always feel weird with another director watching over your shoulder.

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.

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

I've seen a lot of movies that were great and scary, but not particularly fancy in their filmmaking or performance. And they're still scary, and I think a good horror movie should be scary above all things.

What some of the early horror genre masters knew, and what I know, is that the audience are perverts, but in the best possible way.

There's a reason people use CGI: it's cheaper and faster. I hate that.

You can make a film with a phone and a computer if you want, if you have the time. So it's a world that is saturated with films and all kind of stuff, so it's such a blessing to be able to make a film and people care, and even if they say that it's a bad idea, at least they care and they're talking about it.
