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

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.

My easiest judgment for a script is 'do I want to keep reading it?'

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.

A lot of the reasons why people are annoyed at found footage movies is because people look at it like it's easy and that they could do it, too.

We have creative freedom because of budgets. Ever since I have been doing low budget movies, we've really had creative freedom.

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.
