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

I try not to be spectacular with the camera. I try to be a witness of what's going on.

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

I need to create a whole cinematic experience. I think that's what it takes to get the audience to the theater and justify seeing [a movie] on a big screen. You have to give them a cinematic experience.

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.

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.

I think the more honest you are with the storytelling, the better it works.
