In a great horror movie, you've gotta have some character development and you've gotta set some of your people up and you've gotta have a little back story going. You've gotta take that time for exposition.

Once you have a history together, it's just another love for life. Everything is easier. It is just easier to live.

I love fire. Fire is hypnotic.

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

I am constantly seeing new horror that I like.

I have some friends that just stick to the same criteria over and over again not realizing there are lots of other kinds of people and that may be what you like. People get in that mindset and put their blinders on.

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.
