It began as this desire to do this science fiction movie about perhaps one of the last insects left that nobody's done anything on, which is the cockroach - and truly one of the most frightening insects.

A Madagascar Hissing Roach chasing Jerry Lewis. That would be a really neat treat.

Insects are my secret fear. That's what terrifies me more than anything - insects.

You only live once and, usually, not even then.

The transformation scene, where man is becoming insect and insect has become at least man and beyond that - a flying, godlike, shimmering, diaphanous, beautiful creature.

I don’t think television will ever be perfected until the viewer can press a button and cause whoever is on the screen’s head to explode.

Television doesn't want to admit it has those dreadful roach ads on anyway.
