After I watched 'The Exorcist' I refused to watch any other movie that had anything to do with ghosts or demons. I didn't even watch 'Ghostbusters' until I was much older.

There is so much misinformation out there. If you give people even a little bit, it gets blown out of proportion then you have to go put out fires. So it's much easier to say, 'No comment.'

I'm having fun with what I'm doing but I'd never categorically say no to something because it's not horror. I'm keeping an open mind.

For a found-footage-style movie, there's a definite advantage in using unknowns, because it helps sell the illusion that it's real. A known actor would get in the way of the suspension of disbelief.

Almost any movie, no matter how original, is borrowing from some other movies.

I pay a lot of attention to box office because I understand it. TV ratings? I don't know how to interpret them, since I'm new to TV, so I'm just going to wait for somebody to tell me.

He who doesn't know how to put his will into things at least puts a meaning into them: that is, he believes there is a will in them already.

This is no time for ease and comfort. It is time to dare and endure.

I've been putting out sexually explicit images of myself for years. I know this sounds bizarre, but somehow it makes me feel safer.

I'm happier in the way a guy gets happier when he starts to mature. It doesn't make things easier, but I'm so much better at handling them.

A heretic is a man who sees with his own eyes

The highest that we can attain to is not Knowledge, but Sympathy with Intelligence.

Every dog has it's day, unless he loses his tail, then he has a weakend.

God, our world is so complicated.

Memento mori and obey the Lord. Art and religion love the somber chord.

Give your customers what they want today, and help them see tomorrow.
