I really realized how much happier I am when I'm doing projects that I'm chosen to do, and on the flip side, how much unhappier I am on projects that make me feel uncomfortable.

I'm trying to be really synced. It goes back to the idea that, ultimately, the reward is the work.

Mother Nature is a pretty good bioterrorist.

I have been blessed to have been working since I was 11. I think horror is an underrated genre. When done really well like in 'The Ruins', it pays homage to some of the stuff I really love in the '70s and incurs some of that energy the fanbase really wants to see.

I infuse my life with love. I love what I do, the job.

As a species, we're always seeking out authenticity. We're dying for authenticity. We smell it immediately, and we also smell even the slightest riff of somebody who's not completely true to who they are. We have that ability because, as a species, we have organized around stories. We tell them and we subscribe to them.

My wife calls me grumpy cat. I'm normally a very pleasant person to be around.
