The art of moviemaking seems to get thrown away. The cinematography is gone, and the look of everything becomes of little importance. You lose the memorable images; everything looks like it's been shot at night with a security camera.

I'm not a big fan of remakes. And even if they are good, they're still not as good as the original, so what's the point?

I have always found clowns really fascinating, especially on film. Even as a kid I was never scared of them.

Movies in general are more generic. If something sells just make more. That's Hollywood.

There's nothing weirder than when your band finally gets big and you're playing sold-out arenas and you're selling millions of records, and you dread being a part of it all. It wasn't some master plan to go solo. I was just like, I would rather do my own thing, be happy, and have it be ten times less popular. That was really it. It just wasn't fun, the stress.

I just like movies, not one particular kind or genre. In fact, movies that are harder to classify I like more.

If you have a lot of money, you know that you can make almost anything happen, but with a smaller budget you don't have a lot of time or too many resources, so you have to conceive things in a very simple manner and make them happen fast.
