It's Ethan Hawke and John Travolta [in Valley of Violence]. It's awesome. They're awesome.

Of course, we talked about Westerns we like with [James Ransone in Valley of Violence] , but it was always thematically in relation to the movie and what the themes of the movie were.

It's Ethan Hawke and John Travolta [in Valley of Violence]. It's awesome. They're awesome.

It's this long monologue [in Valley of Violence] with Ethan Hawke talking about life and everything with a dog. That's not in movies. Hopefully when people think about the movie when they go home, they're like, "That's weird. He's maybe crazy. He's talking to a dog the whole time."

I don't generally watch the movie [ The House Of The Devil ]. It's sort of like hearing your voice on tape.

I've done it with all my films. I always keep an eye on the first time I show it because... I don't know. Neurosis.

To me it's not so much that the movies are slow-paced as much as they are about spending time building a relationship between the audience and the characters. If you don't spend an adequate amount of time doing this, then how can you expect to scare anyone?
