I love fire. Fire is hypnotic.

When I was 9, I went to a birthday party. We were supposed to see a cowboy movie, but the programming got screwed up and we saw 'The Bad Seed' instead. Horrifying. For years I was frightened of girls with pigtails.

That's the thing with independent cinema: They all get good reviews, and they don't make money. Some of them are good. Some are great. And some are terrible.

I'm at that stage in my career, especially now where I go where I am wanted.

I liked girls with pale skin because I am a California boy, tanned and blonde hair.

I always serve the writer first because I'm English trained, even though I'm American.

I'd like to see a slasher movie set in the depression.
