I'm not certain, but I have a little gypsy blood in me. And my mother always told me that her grandma could give someone the evil eye, and I'd better not cross her because she had some of that blood in her. Mother always believed that she could predict the future, and she had dreams that came true.

I think in every picture that I've ever made. Everything that I've done torments me. I really would like another chance except I'd be too embarrassed to ever really try to do them again and no one would want to see the same movie just done differently.

I like a good mono track, it's right up front. I don't need all the surrounds telling me there are birds in the neighbourhood.

That's what heroic stories do for us. They show us the way. They remind us of the good we are capable of.

My father told me to dress to reflect the respect you have for the people around you. I've never forgotten that.

I think movies lost a lot when they went to stereo and five-track sound.

Well it's always been an element of the horror film to show us the gross out. I mean that's one option for all filmmakers making a horror film and it's not something I've found myself above either.
