“I love cats. I've had cats as pets.”
“I had a reporter ask me what it was like to have my best years over so soon. It stayed with me.”
“I think in every picture that I've ever made. Everything that I've done torments me. I really would like another chance except I'd be too embarrassed to ever really try to do them again and no one would want to see the same movie just done differently.”
“I don't like movies about serial killers, necessarily; it's too real and unpleasant for me.”
“I like a good mono track, it's right up front. I don't need all the surrounds telling me there are birds in the neighbourhood.”
“If a remake is not good, no one wants to see it and, again, it doesn't hurt the original.”
“I think movies lost a lot when they went to stereo and five-track sound.”
“Any time anyone makes a comic book into a movie, in some way, I think they have to kill the comic book.”
“When we read stories of heroes, we identify with them. We take the journey with them. We see how the obstacles almost overcome them. We see how they grow as human beings or gain qualities or show great qualities of strength and courage and with them, we grow in some small way.”
“I don't really approach stories to make them different from other stuff I've seen, I just try to get into the character, into his or her head. Try to make it as funny, as scary or as wild as I can so that I really like it.”
“I've always made sequels, even when I was making Super 8 movies if the audience liked it.”
“I feel the horror audience is a great audience, and I would ideally make a movie that would give them as much energy as they're willing to give to the picture.”
