Almost any movie, no matter how original, is borrowing from some other movies.

There is so much misinformation out there. If you give people even a little bit, it gets blown out of proportion then you have to go put out fires. So it's much easier to say, 'No comment.'

I'm having fun with what I'm doing but I'd never categorically say no to something because it's not horror. I'm keeping an open mind.

For a found-footage-style movie, there's a definite advantage in using unknowns, because it helps sell the illusion that it's real. A known actor would get in the way of the suspension of disbelief.

By trade, I am a software programmer, so I never really had any experience with movies before. I started out with 'Paranormal Activity.

The less people know about 'Paranormal Activity,' the more they enjoy it.

I've never owned an Apple product. I like the fact that PCs are open architecture and not locked down like Apple products. I feel that Macs are also unjustifiably overpriced.

In many cases your imagination is much more effective than what can be shown. It primes you to know something is about to happen - the anticipation and anxiety is worse than what ends up happening.

Not knowing the thing that’s chasing you is a lot scarier than seeing it right in front of you

After I watched 'The Exorcist' I refused to watch any other movie that had anything to do with ghosts or demons. I didn't even watch 'Ghostbusters' until I was much older.

I pay a lot of attention to box office because I understand it. TV ratings? I don't know how to interpret them, since I'm new to TV, so I'm just going to wait for somebody to tell me.

But something happened when I got out into the world, something that changed me. It was the reconnection of being at one with yourself and with this world.

I was the walrus, but now I am John...and so my friends, you'll just have to carry on. The dream is over.

Are you going to give me a reason to stay?

Most of us humans have no idea how stressful any change is for animals.

To make this trivial world sublime, take half a gram of phanerothyme.

The windows, the starving windows that drive the trees like nails into my heart.

Sometimes you want to whisper in God's ear, "God, we know you are in charge, but why don't you make it slightly more obvious?"

As a notorious multi-tasker, I love exercise that serves several purposes.

Not to be born surpasses all reckoning. The next best thing by far, when one has been born is to go back as swiftly as possible whence one came.

Woz and I started Apple in my parents' garage when I was 20. We worked hard, and in 10 years Apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage into a $2 billion company with over 4,000 employees.
