When I'm directing I'm working from 100% of my brain, but when I'm acting I'm working from my heart.

I'm usually pretty lame when it comes to physical activity, but I'm like a Jedi on the badminton court. It's as if my body was built specifically for it - tall and lanky, with wrists like mousetraps.

My heroes have always been the hardworking and unflappable. Those who light a candle rather than curse the darkness.

I was horrified of the dark. I realized that the only way I could get over that fear was by scaring other people, so I became obsessed with ghost stories, drawing monsters, watching monster movies, sneaking into horror movies, and it's just been the love of my life forever.

If you just do a Google search and type in 'smoking' or 'lung cancer', you will be barraged with never ending facts and numbers, like how one in every three Americans is affected by lung disease and how COPD is the third leading cause of death and if you get lung cancer the odds are 95% that you will die.

I found out that smoking is the leading cause of statistics.

My dream is to make the world's scariest PG movie. Because I feel that if you can do that, then you've done something special.
