I ultimately have faith though, that good films will find their audience.

In horror, character development is often pushed aside in favor of the shock value. The best genre movies to me are movies like The Shining. You had a connection to the characters in that film.

We hit a stride where all self-consciousness disappeared.

I'm less interested in slasher, and go more for roles that can affect you on a personal level. I'm interested in human empathy in the movies I see, and in the ones I am a part of.

Actors are such an insecure breed.

I think as long as there are folks on the fringe who want to make movies, the indie scene will still be around. I do think it's getting harder to get them seen though.

Being behind a camera, in front of the camera, is my own little deconstructionist niche.

I'm really proud of Blair Witch Project as a film, but as far as the cultural phenomenon of it - that was just weird luck.

I've done almost 20 films and I still worry about not finding the next one.

I would love to direct some day. It's a good job for a control freak.

Pain is pain, joy is joy - you can't avoid bringing pieces of yourself into a role.

Our days and years are strung upon The thread that runs so true. The game of life is played and Lost to love. -Nancy JanesNancy Janes

I guess if you are making more money than your mom and dad, you can set your own boundaries.

I'm back to doing everything I used to, loving life as ever.

I'd always felt a man should marry later in life.

To make certain that crime does not pay, the government should take it over and try to run it.

Money isn't everything but it sure keeps you in touch with your children.

A flirt is like a dipper attached to a hydrant; every one is at liberty to drink from it, but no one desires to carry it away.

The monsters demand less of you as a writer because they're probably closer to who you are.

I feel akin to the Platypus. An orphan in a family. A swimmer, a recluse. Part bird, part fish, part lizard.

As a general rule, it is foolish to do just what other people are doing, because there are almost sure to be too many people doing the same thing.
