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.

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

Only really good comedies and really good horror movies get a verbal response out of the audience. People will scream. People will laugh.

You don't see a wonderful shot in a comedy. Why? Because they don't want to distract you from what matters, which is the joke. It has to be funny, so usually all the things in the background don't matter.

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.

There's always a tone that you have to hit right in horror. With the blood, you want to make sure that it makes sense all along.

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