I think violence in movies, for it to work, you have to use it smartly. People get numb very fast. If you have too much violence in the beginning, it gets to a point where you don't feel it.

In my everyday life, I can be as square as I want. But when it comes to movies and telling stories, I can't. I've got to be radical, and on some level, that's what I like to do.

I always say that I am a big fan of films but I am an even bigger fan of the filmmaking craft.

There are the horror fans that love the Evil Dead because of the humor, but I’m sure it’s not all of them. Not all horror fans love Evil Dead because of the humor, at least not me.

I love just about every aspect of the filmmaking except acting. I would never be able to do that, but the rest I really enjoy.

In another life, I would love to be the art guy - a production designer or a maybe even a composer.

There's a reason people use CGI: it's cheaper and faster. I hate that.

We're like goldfields. Until we dig deep to find what's inside us, our true potentials may be hidden forever.

In order to pronounce a book bad it is not enough to discover that it elicits no good response from ourselves, for that might be our fault.

Success stories may be great motivational material for sales seminars, but we are not always successful.

You seriously have a Dalmatian? Is that, like, mandatory for a firefighter?

Arrogance is a killer, and wearing ambition on one's sleeve can have the same effect. There is a fine line between arrogance and self-confidence.

For lovers, touch is metamorphosis. All the parts of their bodies seem to change, and they seem to become something different and better.

A prince never lacks legitimate reasons to break his promise.
