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 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.

I think I've spent more time in front of a camera than off camera. That's just the way it is.

All of my characters have a glint of madness.

The most meaningful movies I can make are the ones where parents can share them with their children and children can look forward to sharing them with their parents, a ritual if you will, where they get to spend time together and the kids are smiling.

I always wanted to find a way to apply my acting in a big mad monster movie where I was transforming into this scary entity.

Children, to me, are of the utmost importance. They're really the future, aren't they?
