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.

I found that a lot of people ridiculed contemporary art. I decided I wanted to be involved in art everybody could understand.

I think good suspense and horror is really about creating situations that are relatable, and throwing a wrench in it and watching how people respond to it.

I really am passionate about making low-budget movies. You can try new stuff and unusual stuff, and you can break the rules.

Currently there's no other way to get a movie into 3,000 theaters except with a studio. We have a first-look deal with Universal, and it's been fun to work with them. But studios are a part of our life. I think they'll always be, but they'll play a different role. The consumer and the creator are getting closer together.

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