Every picture has been a learning opportunity for me.

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

I don't really approach stories to make them different from other stuff I've seen, I just try to get into the character, into his or her head. Try to make it as funny, as scary or as wild as I can so that I really like it.

I don't like movies about serial killers, necessarily; it's too real and unpleasant for me.

When we read stories of heroes, we identify with them. We take the journey with them. We see how the obstacles almost overcome them. We see how they grow as human beings or gain qualities or show great qualities of strength and courage and with them, we grow in some small way.

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

I've always loved... actually I didn't always love horror films. I started out and I only liked comedies and dramas.
