Collaborate, don't dictate.

Just because I'm showing somebody being disemboweled doesn't mean that I have to get heavy and put a message behind it.

I keep a little notebook of things that I can do to the zombies that might be silly and fun.

I expect a zombie to show up on Sesame Street soon, teaching kids to count.

For a Catholic kid in parochial school, the only way to survive the beatings - by classmates, not the nuns - was to be the funny guy.

When I was old enough to go to movies alone, I got to see 'Frankenstein' and 'Dracula' on the big screen. I just fell in love with them.

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!
