Directors typically have three choices - you do a studio movie and get a paycheck up front, you do an independent movie, which is for your heart and you don't get paid up front and probably don't make any money on it, but it hopefully goes to Sundance and is more of an art movie, and then you do TV.

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

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

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

Let's keep making inexpensive movies.

People love being scared, even for long periods of time.

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.
