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

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 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.

Any time anyone makes a comic book into a movie, in some way, I think they have to kill the comic book.

That's what heroic stories do for us. They show us the way. They remind us of the good we are capable of.
