When you work with an actor and then you discover new things that are better, I think you gotta be free to be able to go with the new things that you're finding. I think that's very important. I have a strong idea when I go to shoot a movie but I also love to discover things when I'm on set as well.

For me, the sound design and the musical score is a big part of what makes scary movies work.

I don't like talking about sequels or spinoffs or franchise until they actually happen, until they actually work with the audience.

Your actors need to trust you as a director, but normally, I think you just need to have an open communication between the actors and the director. I think the director needs to really paint his or her vision to the cast and let them know the kind of mood that he or she is making. I think that's very important.

I think the financial restraint really pushes me as a director to be more creative with the way I shoot the film.

I'm a big movie fan, and I want to make movies in every genre. I want to make my romantic comedy one day.

Designing the technical aspects of my camera movement for me is very important. I want the camera to be a big part in telling the story as well, like what I really believe in with all the films I make.
