There are two levels of vampirism: one is the regular vampire, which is just like it has always been; and then there's the super vampires, which are a new breed we've created.

I think when you get all the money and all the freedom, rarely do you get a good movie out of it or a movie that you're proud of.

I only produce movies that have something stylistically different, so that I can learn from the experience of producing.

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

Awareness of insanity does not make one any less insane. Awareness of drowning does not make one any less of a drowning person--it only adds the burden of panic

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