We all have nightmares, we all wake up, we all have certain ideas of something that could be hiding around the corner and the question of does that really exist, but we get on with our lives.

For me, the filmmaking should serve the story, first and foremost.

Those who have experienced a great deal of violence or committed a great deal of violence themselves, those who are existing in their own world of sadness and malevolence, essentially those are the ones that are most prone to possession. You don't just walk down the street and suddenly you get possessed. It creeps up on you.

Success can create amazing opportunities but it can also bring a set of confines which make your decisions a little murkier.

I love Hollywood films and when they're done right, they're great. At the same time, I think it's always hard to come on to something that preexists.

I think people who are horrifically abused as children and then start to repeat the same thing to their own offspring or to others, you start to see evil inherent. That's what the Catholic Church feels is necessary to exorcise, to cleanse.

Life gets more complicated and projects get more complicated after that.
