I'm not writing novels, the screenplays are my novels, so I'm gonna write it the best that I can. If the movie never gets made, it'd almost be okay because I did it. It's there on the page.

L.A. is so big that if you don't actually live in Hollywood, you might as well be from a different planet.

I like a much more Japanese style of blood, where it's red and it almost has a paint kind of quality to it. You can put it on metal, and it has this vividness. Because, normally, what they use in Hollywood is this stuff that looks like strawberry pancake syrup or raspberry pancake syrup.

Oh gosh, well, you know, growing up in the '70s being a young boy there, you know, there were still exploitation movies, where, you know, were, you know, still opened up every week and, you know, played - sometimes they would play it at the local, you know, mall theater.

I definitely have some colleagues that I respect, and we get together from time to time. But I actually have just like genuine friends.

I was just this video-store guy and now I was actually making movies and stuff.

You name any horrific thing, and I can make a joke out of it.
