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

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.

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

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 like a good mono track, it's right up front. I don't need all the surrounds telling me there are birds in the neighbourhood.

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 think movies lost a lot when they went to stereo and five-track sound.
