Arguably, the Venice Film Festival is the second best film festival in the world, after Cannes.

I make a star's salary when I do horror, because I can still open a movie in Italy or Spain or Germany.

We used to take girls to scary movies all the time, I don't know about you, but that was the place we would go for dates.

I did lots of Shakespeare and classics, and I just kind of became that person. I was a bit of a snob.

I am constantly seeing new horror that I like.

When you see a guy flying into the air on fire, that's not me, obviously. I do all the water tricks, though.

Everybody underestimated the universality of the concept of a nightmare or a bad dream. Horror movies travel pretty well anyway. They're like action movies: People overseas can watch them and enjoy them, and they're not so culturally specific in terms of their references, and they can follow a good scary story.
