I always try to better myself with every movie I make. I don't take anything sitting back and so I try to learn from every film I make and carry that onto the next movie because I think it's important as a filmmaker to keep growing with each film and I think I am growing with each movie. And I think it's important because you need to strive to better yourself.

I think you cannot be too complacent. I think that's dangerous and you cannot take anything for granted.

I always believe your instinct is the most correct instinct.

If your franchise has been around for awhile you have to find ways to keep it fresh.

We're terrified of shocks but we're so fascinated by it at the same time. We're terrified of spiders and reptiles and all of that but at the same time you're fascinated by them - you want to go to the zoo and go behind the glass and look at all these creepy crawlies! It's the same thing with the supernatural. I think we're very frightened by it.

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

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