I have so many different projects, I hear voices in my head - the characters talking all at once - and I have to write to make them stop.
I never put out a vanilla edition of a DVD.
I get a little too obsessive with work.
I think in the late '80s and early '90s horror was dead.
I've realized that I can't multitask in the writing department; I can only kind of do one thing at a time.
Horror audiences don't need to see some TV actor they're familiar with.
I can think of endless horrible things to do to people!
I want to have an ending where people say: "That's the most shocking ending I've ever seen in a mainstream horror film."
Anytime you make a movie, the goal is a wide theatrical release, with the right distributor.
For a long time, I had a crazy girl dating habit.
Everyone is so terrified of being labeled a racist.
I felt people responded to two things. One, obviously, is the gore and the scenes like the eye gauging.
As a kid, I was the neighbourhood baby-sitter - very responsible, always in charge.
Believe it or not, but I was a camp councilor for three years. I love kids.
Creative writing and shooting are muscles that atrophy. But when you work them, you become a self-generator who can branch out.
I'd love to see us get to a point where you can make a movie and not worry about the limits of the violence. Then I think they'd get so violent that people would get bored of it.
I'm not interested in going after a part. I think if someone wants me for a part and approaches me then I'll take it on a case-by-case basis and see what that part is.
I want people to see my name on a movie, pay money and know they're going to be entertained for 90 minutes.
You know, the best thing you can say about a horror film is, 'Don't see it.'
Hopefully we'll get to a point where people realize movies don't cause violence. It just reflects the violence going on in the culture.
I think characters are most terrifying when they're relatable. It's best when your most horrible characters make sense, and are believable. That's when a movie is most terrifying.
Chile could work as a double for L.A.; it's very production-friendly and there's terrific talent down there.
Well, anytime I make a movie, I like to load it up with more things than you could ever catch on the first viewing.
I have a strong art-history background.
When I go see an R-rated horror movie, I want lots of violence.
