I get a lot done considering I spend half my day sleeping.

Any time you do action and horror, you've always got to try to find a way to make it fresh for the audience, but also for yourself, and there are so many different ways to freak people out and create tension.

When you make an exploitation film, you always want to have a real issue. That's how they were always done.

Anyone who can only write about themselves or their life experiences, in my mind, isn't a very good writer.

For me, Mexploitation seemed like something that should have existed, but didn't.

You ask any moviemaker what their favorite movie experience was, and they'll say it was one of the first ones, where everyone had to pitch in and do everything together, and you had to struggle.

The studios don't finance anymore, they get outside funds.
