There's a depth to the nightmare, to the symbolism you can exploit, on an intellectual level, on a sexual level, on a primal, violent level, and I think all of those things together are just great. They're the spice and ingredients in the menu of the horror movie, and I think that's why we'll be around for a long time.

I was quite a snob when I was a theatre actor earlier in my career.

I love the idea of comedy in horror. I think this should be allowed.

I think that what's happened is that there's been a rediscovery of some good old-school films and a realization that there's always a place for them. We don't have to outgrow them with the new technology and we can do them with it and we can do them without it. We shouldn't always have the demands made on us to do it.

I kind of forgot about the inner child in me that loved the old horror movies.

When you're on a sound stage and you're shooting a fire stunt, this weird thing happens where the fire eats up all the oxygen and everybody gets a little dingy.

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