I happen to still like really dark, dramatic, fractured characters. They're the reason I got into movies.

The biggest problem for me was feeling that as I became more balanced and a better man that I wouldn't have the fire to create from.

I came out of independent film, that's my roots. I used my independent film as a laboratory, and used what I could discover in that laboratory.

Someone like Vincent Price or somebody like Christopher Lee, they never won an award, and it doesn't matter. They're cool.

When you have 400 people watching you making a movie, it doesn't go where you want it to go. It's a lot of pressure.

I loved 'Fantasia' as a kid because it filled me with wonder, enchantment and awe. It was my first real introduction into classical music. It was totally inspiring to me.

I do like to move and get physical in my movies.
