You create superheroes to take care of problems that can't really be solved another way.

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.

I love working with great actors.

If you do a film with a studio, agents step in, they start saying, 'My actor has to get this amount of money', and it becomes about deals.

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

Your mind just goes to the craziest idea to lure people into the theater, and then you write your script around those elements.

Don't be told something is impossible. There's always a way.
