There's no staying where you were. If you're not doing anything, your skills and point of view are atrophying.

You're saying, "I'm gonna do this thing," and you have to be aware, as a rational human being, that you may not be allowed back in.

I think I take what you might call a B-movie story, deal with B-movie subjects, and I treat it as if it's an A-movie in terms of my approach, my crew, my actors, my ethics and so on. I guess that's my trademark or one of them anyway!

You don't have your film finished when you have your director's cut finished. It's just a bunch of green screen.

When I was a kid, I had two great guilty pleasures. One was horror movies and the other was martial arts movies.

I wouldn't describe myself as a do-gooder. That's really more my wife. I'm kind of just the obsessed guy who's been writing and making movies since I was a little kid, just in a room and make it.

People who come to see my movies, you're coming to see a drama masquerading as a genre piece.
