I sort of love the idea of, you know, watching something and then having to wait for the next episode.

I find that it's hard to fully examine one's life and not have faith be part of the discussion.

When there's an authentic mystery, as opposed to just a question being asked, that's what makes you lean forward.

I do think that at a certain point, the reboot sequel mode has to give way to original ideas and back to a place where, you know, films are, you know, a medium and the cinema is a place you go to see something that is, you know, wholly new.

My work isn't any more important than anything else in the family

Making movies was more a reaction to not being chosen for sports. Other kids were out there playing at whatever; I was off making something blow up and filming it, or making a mould of my sister's head using alginating plaster.

I'd love to do a movie where the monster is human, where the issue is not otherworldly, or horror or science fiction.
