Ever since 'Lassie' and 'Old Yeller', I won't watch animal movies. Animals in movies always die.

I can't really make fun of zombies. They're not liars. They're not cheats.

As a filmmaker you get typecast just as much as an actor does, so I'm trapped in a genre that I love, but I'm trapped in it!

If I fail, the film industry writes me off as another statistic. If I succeed, they pay me a million bucks to fly out to Hollywood and fart.

Movies are about escape.

My stuff is my stuff. I do it for my own reasons, using my own peculiar set of guidelines. I'm not a student of the genre. I don't care what anybody else does.
