What we read and why we do so defines us in a profound way. You are what you read, I suppose. Browsing through someone’s library is like peeking into their DNA.

I love REAL set construction and think that sets are very important part of the storytelling and scope of a film.

I have my library separate from the family home, and every room is a different genre. The only room that I can guarantee I've read everything is the horror room.

The way I see film is I think film is like going out to dinner. I feel it's a banquet. You don't want to have the same food you have at home. You want to go and eat a fantastic Chinese meal or Italian or Greek.

I am the nice adversary, the guy that's going to ask the tough questions and is not going to be happy with the quick answer.

I think making small movies reminds you of the effort. When you make big movies, the effort is to fight for freedom. When you make small movies, the effort is making the day, making the budget, and it's great, too.

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