If one horror film hits, everyone says, 'Let's go make a horror film.' It's the genre that never dies.

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

Zombies are the real lower-class citizens of the monster world and that's why l like them.

There are so many factors when you think of your own films. You think of the people you worked on it with, and somehow forget the movie. You can't forgive the movie for a long time. It takes a few years to look at it with any objectivity and forgive its flaws.

Collaborate, don't dictate. Every department head has something to offer. Listen and gratefully accept their offerings. They're moviemakers, too.

You can fall on your face easily if you go off in a certain direction. The Birds is a good example, some people are really phobic about birds flying over their heads, and some don't care. So, it's a personal thing.

People called 28 Days and 28 Weeks zombie movies, and they're not! It's some sort of virus; they're not dead.
