I love musicals. I love horror movies and I love art movies.

The scares are the easier part of scary movies. The hard part of scary movies is what leads up to the scares.

I think the most honest responses to the movies you get to watch are in houses and people's most private spaces, like the bedroom or in your own intimate space. I think that's where you feel safest, so when you're threatened in the place you feel safest, it makes for the scariest situations.

For some reason, people value being scared less than they value laughing.

I try to work with people who you're not used to seeing in scary movies. I think it makes for a more interesting mix, when you're watching the movie.

Let's keep making inexpensive movies.

I think the location is almost as important as casting the leads of the movie. The location on The Purge was crucial to that movie working.
