Well, the first thing is that I love monsters, I identify with monsters.

I had gotten to the point where I just didn't want to perform anymore - I didn't want to be on the chopping block anymore. I started to want to withdraw and retreat from it.

When the monster has a dimension that allows you to humanize it, that's the route I usually want to go.

I think that The Eye is a particularly Americanized take on horror

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.

At some point, in order to gain his identity, the kid goes "I'm not my dad" or "I'm not my mom."

I love monsters. If I go to a church, I'm more interested in the gargoyles than the saints. I really don't care much about the idea of normal - that's very abstract to me. I think that perfection is practically unattainable but imperfection is right at hand. So that's why I love monsters: because they represent a side of us we should actually embrace and celebrate.
