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.

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

In another life, I would love to be the art guy - a production designer or a maybe even a composer.

In my everyday life, I can be as square as I want. But when it comes to movies and telling stories, I can't. I've got to be radical, and on some level, that's what I like to do.

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

Not all horror fans love Evil Dead because of the humor, at least not me.
