I think Hollywood has a habit of developing 100 times more than they actually shoot.

My favorite novel in the world is Frankenstein. I'm going to misquote it horribly, but the monster says, "I have such love in me, more than you can imagine. But, if I cannot provoke it, I will provoke fear."

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.

Without context, things are not scary. Without context, like humor, horror doesn't work.

I think that during the shoot, you should never be there, unless something goes really wrong and as producer, you're responsible. The sign you did your job right is if you are not there.

I was part of a group that had a cinema club so every week we would project two or three movies on 16 or 35mm.

Movies that look safe are less interesting.
