There's nothing that defines who you are more than boundaries, whether you cross them or not, in every aspect of your life, and horror is a really great boundary.

What happens to me is that I am first and foremost a film geek.

You only find yourself when you disobey. Disobedience is the beginning of responsibility, I think.

When I stage a violent scene, I try for it to serve a purpose. I do love those things, the makeup effects. But I love them more with the monsters. I never was much of a gore guy. I've always enjoyed just creating monsters.

The underground of the city is like what's underground in people. Beneath the surface, it's boiling with monsters.

We're in three living groups, 'cause even after the world's ended some assholes still can't get along.

...there's something about maternal love - it might just be the strongest human spiritual bond there is.
