To make movies you just have to want it enough. You have to have the passion for telling stories. You have to get by the love-of-movies aspect. You can't just be a movie fan.

You have to fight really hard for a private life, and sometimes you don't have one. It just gets to you after a while. It's tough.

Directing is all about storytelling. It's not about equipment, or anything else.

Horror found me. I got into the movie business to make westerns.

From early on, when synthesizers were first introduced into music, I liked the idea that you could get a big sound with them - electronic, but like an orchestra. And I could play it all myself. That was exciting.

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.

When I got into the movie business, working with actors was the one thing I was really weak at. I didn't know what to say to actors. They scared me and intimidated me. The actors that I've worked with who have had a lot of experience, or who I've even grown up watching as a kid, were really scary. I was like, "What am I going to say to this person?" But, I've matured. It's fun. I understand what actors do now.
