There's something very cool about that indie spirit that I try to hang on to even now with the bigger films that I'm working on.

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.

I always arrive late at the office, but I make up for it by leaving early.

Your goal should be out of reach but not out of sight.

The amount of control you have over somebody if you can monitor internet activity is amazing.

The choice of every lost soul can be expressed in the words "Better to reign in hell than serve in heaven." There is always something they insist on keeping, even at the price of misery.

If security were all that mattered, computers would never be turned on, let alone hooked into a network with literally millions of potential intruders.

It breaks my heart when couples focus more on being wed than being married. Two become one doesn't happen without work, humility, and sacrifice.

The family is on its way out; couples go next; then no more keeping cats or parrots.

The Lord of the Rings movie set an entirely new standard for fantasy in the movies.

There is no limit to the noble aspirations which the words "my country" may evoke.
