I'd been all hyped about it, I was like, "Please come," and to have that and know Tommy Nohilly is probably going like, "This is cool," it makes me feel good.

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?

I think having funny characters is just one way of having three-dimensional characters.

There's nothing stopping you from making movies. You can always make and try different things.

The hardest animal was the vulture. But the horses were great, the dog was great [in Valley of Violence]. It was really easy.

Typically, in Westerns, people who are in a Western feel like they're in a Western. It's almost like they know they do all these Western things.

It's very important to me to find ways to relate the audience to the characters. This is the first thing to go in most mainstream horror films.
