I never like to do parodies. I never do. It's just not my style of comedy.

I don't think my sense of humor has changed at all; I was born with this, for better or for worse.

I'd always been a science fiction enthusiast.

We watch movies about all sorts of things that we don't know anything about, but we do get caught up in the human drama.

I'm not sure I agree with the thesis, because I think that even though something grotesque or gross has been part of film since way back, what we accept or what we can get away with on the screen is broader now.

I call it like the domino theory of reality. If you can go one step at a time and it seems to make sense, you can then take your audience into an area that is relatively outlandish.

I think if people want to see pure sex in the movie, they have the Internet and the extraordinary things are available.
