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

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

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 think the mistake people make with horror movies and what makes them successful is a lot of horror movies get made by people who don't really like them, so they don't respect them. And when you like horror and have admiration for it, that community knows that what's important for a horror movie is important for every other kind of movie.

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

One thing I am very strict about is that I don't like spending a lot of money on movies because the more money you spend I think the worse that they get.

I'm a believer in screening movies early, and using the movie itself to help sell the movie. If you can't do that, I feel like you shouldn't be releasing the movie.
