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

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.

I have so many things that I want to do, and I don't have enough time in my life to do them all. The problem with acting business is that it's so expensive and you've got to get so many people to say yes.

The one thing you can do that the audience can't do - all those smart people online in the chat rooms can't do - is deliver a satisfying emotional journey for a human being, for a character.

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

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.

Let's make really good stories that people get something out of. That's the one common denominator with everything I try to do.
