I'm always involved with casting my movies. I have final word on it.

One of my heroes is a composer named James Bernard, and oh my God... I can still listen to his music today and be stirred and moved by it. But I think that you fall in love with... Well, again, when you're young, it really is more powerful. Much more terrifying.

There are two different stories in horror: internal and external. In external horror films, the evil comes from the outside, the other tribe, this thing in the darkness that we don't understand. Internal is the human heart.

I enjoyed 'The Avengers.' I couldn't do that kind of movie though. Superheroes aren't my deal.

Movies are pieces of film stuck together in a certain rhythm, an absolute beat, like a musical composition. The rhythm you create affects the audience.

I had a talent for scoring films; I just developed it.

First of all, I was a wrestling fan when I was young. Even when I figured out what wrestling was, I was still a fan.
