An artist is someone who feels the vibrations of the world and tries to transcribe them through his medium.

I like speed in thrillers. It's a rhythm adapted to the subject.

In a novel, language is your principal tool, you try to build pictures in the mind of the reader. When you write a screenplay, the language is just a transition, the final goal is a picture on the screen, it's the only thing the audience sees.

I'm not imprisoned in any one medium. In films I use techniques that are not necessarily what other directors attempt. When I write novels I also use techniques which can run counter to those that a novelist would use.

Most of all people respond to a film tackling grave subjects that question and go against the prevailing mood.

It's the comedies and thrillers that are successful. People love horror, but in thrillers. Once you speak of pain and suffering it's a different matter.
