I am the nice adversary, the guy that's going to ask the tough questions and is not going to be happy with the quick answer.

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

The only thing you can do as an artist is to come to the world, see what no one is doing, and leave behind one or two things that wouldn’t have happened without you.

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

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 things that have so much in common with what I like. I wanna understand what I'm doing. I wanna understand the instincts that are going to inform the story.

Never fly commercial. That's the moral of this story.
