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.

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

Every picture has been a learning opportunity for me.

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'm too obsessed that the people who say critical things about me are right, even though I'm getting to do something I love.

I had a reporter ask me what it was like to have my best years over so soon. It stayed with me.

I feel the horror audience is a great audience, and I would ideally make a movie that would give them as much energy as they're willing to give to the picture.
