We live in a world that relies on technology.

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.

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

Your life is a reflection of your thoughts. Think well.

Words without thought is just that, words...

God will always deliver the truth when you have enough faith to believe in miracles.

A friend is an open sky with whom you can open wings of your mind to fly.

A poor white woman from the South is different than a poor black woman from the South, and has a completely different experience.

I didn't get an athletics scholarship at a major school.
