It's not scary to make a horror film because you get to pull back the curtain and see that none of it's real. When you're watching one, the terror bombards you.

Be honest with yourself and lie to everyone else.

I wouldn't do anything if I didn't have something I was working for.

My parents are hippies, so I must have a bit of hippie in me.

I had a good time shooting in New Zealand. I almost bought a home there while I was there, because I loved it so much.

I'm very 'spur of the moment'. I'm always trying to think of fun things to do to create a memory.

It's more interesting when people overcome inner turbulence, but at the same time I do like the innocent. Have you ever read The Idiot? I think Dostoyevsky created a brilliant character there. He doesn't have any self-inflicted wounds. I love that. People don't like him because he's so pure.
