...to all the monsters in my nursery: May you never leave me alone.

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

What is fantastic for me is that the Romantic movement comes out as a counter balance to everything that has been accumulating since the Age of Reason. I think the downfall of imagination as a genre or as a perception starts with the Age of Reason, which says everything else that came before us, all those superstitions, all those myths, are childish.

Even if one understands that what one is doing is mad, it is indeed still madness -

I believe that the physical effect, the physical set, whenever you can, is ten times better than the digital effect.

I see horror as part of legitimate film. I don't see it as an independent genre that has nothing to do with cinema.

I think part of making movies is dealing with restrictions of freedom and budget. I'd rather deal with restrictions of budget. It's better to feel free within any budget.
