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.

There are a lot of parallels between doing a sequel and doing low budget movies, which is they give creative parameters. As a creative person myself, I work better with parameters as opposed to anything goes.

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

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.

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.

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

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