I've always been attracted to the idea of ghosts being memories frozen in time, that a psychological haunting can be just as terrifying as a supernatural one.

I always loved the idea that a photograph was a memory frozen in time.

I'm fascinated by the possibilities of human behavior, of how two people raised the same way can end up at such different places.

I often think off-screen horror is more effective, it's the fear of what is lurking around the corner, just out of sight, that can leave you on the edge of your seat.

Much like photographs, I also love the idea that ghosts are memories frozen in time. We can be haunted by both just as horrifically. One really becomes a metaphor for the other.

I want find to beauty in the world but to do so requires you to acknowledge and confront the darkness.

Men enjoy being thought of as hunters, but are generally too lazy to hunt. Women, on the other hand, love to hunt, but would rather nobody knew it.

Scientific innovations continually provide us with new means of analyzing the finds.

So I never had trouble getting work or working or doing - I always worked. I worked when I went to college. I worked after school.

The writer is the person who stays in the room.

Fear is concealed in smiles and flashing teeth. 'Please say you still love me,' the kings and queens are really saying. And, when they fare badly, they return to their palaces and sleep fitfully.

The cruelty of fate is that I must travel with the people I hate when the people I love are dead behind me.
