Every picture has been a learning opportunity for me.

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

You know, I put my little brother in the movies and he's still in the pictures. My mother makes me put him in the pictures.

I don't like shows, I don't like to put on a show, I just really want to work intimately with my actors.

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

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'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.
