For me it sounds weird saying that the filmmakers respect the film. I don't imagine that there's other ways to make a film, but unfortunately there is.

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

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

I don't want to spoon-feed the audience, like, "This is the funny guy, this is one you hate, this is the one you like." A lot of movies do that. They don't really give you a choice. They show you the jock, and he's an idiot, and everybody has to hate him. You have no choice.

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.

Definitely my favorite cut is the one that got put out. That's my favorite version of the film, the one that I put in theaters. That's my directors cut, there's no question about it.

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