Horror I appreciate is one of the few genres that can wind the audience up and make them pay attention. I kind of like that. It’s one of the few genres that can be very manipulative.

You can’t get a movie made without a script; it’s the blueprint to your building.

It’s smart to have a set of younger actors. People don’t always want to look at me. They want to look at other people.

You have to take the horror seriously but there’s gags aplenty. Most people, when they do horror it’s just grim.

I’m not interested in making a $60-million studio film with a bunch of 24-year-olds telling me what to do.

Any time a writer thinks he has all the answers to how someone should talk or react or end a scene, it’s a spontaneity-killer.

You’ll lose about two million brain cells every minute that goes by.

I’ll do more than the average actor, but I’m smart enough to know why stunt guys exist.

If you go to Hollywood, you’ve already sold out.

I see the Internet as the next big deal – I wanted to get in on it early on so I wouldn’t get behind it all.
