I really like to work with theater actors. Theater actors tend to do lots of independent movies, and those are the actors that I like.

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

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.

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

You can't be a creative person and not fall in love with everything. Every movie I've made there's a complicated, twisted love affair with.

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