In real life, what scares me is politicians, corporations and people that think they know what the world should be.

For eight years I did effects for other movies until I got my movie made

Ghosts are a metaphor that can be interpreted so many different ways. There's no ending to what you can do. You can make it a fun ghost story. You can make it a deeply disturbing, psychological ghost story.

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.

If you're not operating on an instinctive level, you're not an artist.... Reason over emotion is bullshit, absolute bullshit... We suffocate ourselves in rules. I find fantasy liberating.

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

You give yourself to the world for people to either praise or destroy.
