I don't like talking about sequels or spinoffs or franchise until they actually happen, until they actually work with the audience.

For me, the sound design and the musical score is a big part of what makes scary movies work.

I think the financial restraint really pushes me as a director to be more creative with the way I shoot the film.

I think you can say a lot with the movement of your camera but you can also say a lot by keeping it still.

We're not just horror fans. We're film fans. I love action films. I want to do action films. I want to do romantic comedies. I love all this stuff. So, if I find the good material, I'll do it.

I always believe your instinct is the most correct instinct.

You know music and sound design can be very powerful with how you use it but also the absence of sound can say a lot as well.

The whole wide world scares me! Seriously. I think what happens in our world is so much more frightening than anything I can come up with in my movies.

There's really no reason to rehash something that you've already seen.

I think you cannot be too complacent. I think that's dangerous and you cannot take anything for granted.

I'm a big movie fan, and I want to make movies in every genre. I want to make my romantic comedy one day.

May the forces of evil become confused on the way to your house.

What we need is more sense of the wonder of life and less of this business of making a picture.

"You're a perfect devil, Lestat!" he was saying. "That's what you are! You are the devil himself!"

And I think that after nearly 85 years upon this planet that I have a right after working so hard at showing the desolation and the poverty, to show something beautiful for somebody as well.

I like to wear less make-up and be tougher. The primp stuff is exciting for people, but it's less exciting for me. It's definitely fun, but I like low maintenance.

There is an integrity to INXS, in the music, that makes it worthwhile.

As you go through life, you've got to see the valleys as well as the peaks.

The only reason people do not know much is because they do not care to know. They are incurious. Incuriousity is the oddest and most foolish failing there is.

I tend not to be someone who's on all the time, or is always trying to make other people laugh.

We're reborn every second, every moment.
