Well I think effects are tools

I would much rather see somebody bring something new to a genre than produce something that seems safe.

If you're doing a big spectacle film, you've got to be mindful of large masses. Even then, you've got to be responsible only to your storytelling.

Night is real. Night is not an absence of light, but in fact, it is daytime that is a brief respite from the looming darkness.

I believe in man. I believe in mankind, as the worst and the best that has happened to this world.

You may occasionally be hurt by the sort of cavalier cruelty of commentary if you go into online forums, so there’s definitely a maturity about not seeking validation from everyone, every single time.

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.
