I try to take B genre movies and treat them as if they're A dramas. Get the cinematographers, get the actors to do an A drama, but it just happens to be about aliens or ghosts or crazy people, or killers, or whatever it is.

Sometimes people can write really great scenes and even a great episode, but they can't see the bigger picture.

Movies will end up being this esoteric art form, where only singular people will put films out in a small group of theaters.

There are a lot of things I can take, and a few that I can't. What I can't take is when my older brother, who's everything that I want to be, starts losing faith in things. I saw that look in your eyes last night. I don't ever want to see that look in your eyes again.

A TV show where all of the characters are trying to figure out what's going on, and the suspense of that, fits my [voice] really well. You feel their frustration, anger and fear, and then, when the reveal happens, their sense of dread or horror, or whatever it is, and I like to paint with those colors.

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

My philosophy is to make movies with the biggest possible budget that will allow it to be made in an independent fashion.
