It's a convention, but in horror movies the female characters usually tend to believe easier in a supernatural event.

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.

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 take things from everywhere, and I still haven't figured out where I took [some things] from.

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.

That's kind of my ideal sequel - a movie that continues the story, takes one character and moves on, and moves forward with that character that survived with the first one.

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