I have always read all my reviews, the bad along with the good (although you remember the bad much more than the good!). I am just too curious to see how it's playing with the audience, and I have a thick-enough skin to handle the less charitable assessments.

Usually monsters are some aspect of human behavior or humanity at large.

The beauty of a really good movie is that it's a whole world, complete in an hour and a half or two hours.

I love films where I'm looking around the world a little different now that I've seen that. I want something that nourishes my view of the world.

It's my belief that when you're dealing with the supernatural, the supernatural still has to trump we mortals, it still has to be more powerful than we are. You can't really defeat it. You can live to fight another day but it's very rare that a human being can actually destroy a supernatural force.

As a journalist you have to think quickly, you're exposed to all types of people and situations and you've got to synthesize your thoughts in a very clear and concise way and write them down quickly. Those were all things that have proven really useful in my life as a television writer.

I like projects that are entertaining, where I'm emotionally engaged and there's something to think about afterwards.
