It's lovely being a producer. It's really a lot of fun and I can learn a lot.

I've always heard people's criticisms twice as loudly as their praise.

I realized what interested me as a student of film was one thing and the movies that I liked were another.

Rob [Tapert], myself and Bruce Campbell sat in hundreds of drive-insnot hundreds, but tens of drive-ins, watching these movies and learning how they were made, and we started to make our own in Super 8. And that’s really how we got into horror films. After a while we learned to really like them, and the craft that went into them.

Every filmmaker knows that when you make a book into a movie, the first thing you have to do is kill the book, unfortunately. You've got to recreate it.

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

I love cats. I've had cats as pets.
