Every picture has been a learning opportunity for me.

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

I like something where I can really use my imagination and be an active participant in the construction of the monster and usually that's in the world of the supernatural or the world of the fantastic, so that's why those kinds of stories about demons and the supernatural appeal to me or maybe I'm really interested in that subject.

I used to get headaches in 3D movies, and I didn't want the movie to give people headaches.

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

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