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.

Most filmmakers go out with the first feature and nobody cares.

A good horror movie - it doesn't matter how many comedy horror films there have been before. Doesn't matter how much you think it's going to be funny. A good horror movie will scare the hell out of you... the moment you sit down and you start being exposed to that story, it's going to freeze your blood.

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.

I always say that I am a big fan of films but I am an even bigger fan of the filmmaking craft.

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.

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