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

I believe that improvisation is really just a directorial tool. It's a writing tool. It's not so much that the actors get to say whatever they want, whatever pops into their head. It's an opportunity to write the last draft of the screenplay as you're working on it.

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

My sense is, I think it's okay for directors to do movies that speak to other work in their career.

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

Then my first film was something called Cannibal Girls, which sounds like a horror movie but was actually kind of a goofy comedy with horror elements. Like a horror spoof.

I love horror and sci-fi.
