When I hire actors I believe in their abilities.

When I was a kid, I was afraid of large group of conforming people.

Sports teams, people who follow sports teams, religion, churches, work - any company, I find that people just generally have a need to belong to something larger than themselves.

In editing, it's amazing how you choose the in and out points. What you cut on is everything for creating tension. It's amazing how expanding a shot by five seconds can just ruin the tension.

I love the first hour of a horror movie, the fear and anticipation. Then, when it gets bloody, I lose interest.

What I learned from directing, I learned from soccer, where it's like a coach-player relationship.

It's sort of one ongoing process where writing ends and directing starts.
