I had been making a lot of family oriented movies, which I also like. But I still have a passion for the midnight audience and for midnight movies.

I really would like to be able to face all my superstitions that may have existed and walk under the ladder and do everything you're not supposed to do.

Hopefully as a result of 'The Frozen Ground,' more and more people will be aware of the horrible things that happen to ladies all over the world and give them respect. This movie is a love letter to those victims.

That was one of the reasons why I wanted to tell the story of Colin Price. I saw someone in this fictionalized political character that was trying to do something important for his city. He meant well, but then you see that the human flaws had really derailed his past. It seems to be happening more and more in our country. I wanted to hold a mirror up to that.

I just want to keep making movies that hopefully makes some kids smile.

I like being at that place where you can either fall or stand. That's where I think you really have a shot at doing something truthful.

I want to always find new ways of reinventing myself.
