Animated films are so precisely engineered - right down to forming lines of dialogue with words pulled from several different takes - how do you translate that spontaneity from the live-action to the digital realm?

I like horror movies, and in fact I like them even more now after making one. I just think they're much more liberating because you don't really have to apply a very strict logic.

There's so much work in making movies, it's so easy to tear one down. When I watch a movie, even one that I don't particularly enjoy, I'm constantly impressed at the work that's in it. I respect the craftsmen and women. I tolerate a lot of movies that maybe other people don't, just because I know what goes into them.

I find it ironic that fear is eliminating the possibility to tell stories that depict our ability to overcome fear

The curse is an incredible set of blue balls.

Reading in a sound booth seems very strange. Everyone has a process they are comfortable with; this was uncomfortable for me.
