I like to write in a shroud of secrecy because I have to keep finding ways to scare myself.

I storyboard every shot of my thrillers in general. I draw them out and do them.

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

I love stage actors. The pool of world class actors that have done theater [is big], there's a higher opportunity of grabbing somebody from that pool.

I'm super confident about creative stuff, and I'm really not confident about human interactions stuff.

I knew the moment it happened, it was a miracle. I could have been kissing her when she threw up. It would have scarred me for life. I may never have recovered.

As a child, I probably knew phrases that other children didn't known, like "pitocin drip" or "myocardial infarction." Some kind of knowledge was always in the air. My parents would always talk about science at the dinner table, saying something about this patient or some other patient. So I guess for a nanosecond in early high school, I thought about going into medicine.
