I think all the great studio filmmakers are dead or no longer working. I don't put myself, my friends, and other contemporary filmmakers in their category. I just see us doing some work.

I always say that I've been in a bad mood for maybe 35 years now. I try to lighten it up, but that's what comes out when you get me on camera.

I’m not interested in a realistic look, not at all, not ever. Every film should look the way I feel.

Zombies, what are you going to do with them? Just keep chopping them up, shooting at them, shooting at them.

I don't like being in houses alone.

Could you double-check the envelope?

I love the look of planes and the idea of how a plane flies. The more I learn about it the better I feel; while I still may not like it, I have a sense of what is really happening.
