As a filmmaker, you aspire to want to make movies that can hopefully stand the test of time, but you never know when that will happen or if that will happen.

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.

Being normal?1 I have never had this experience.

Being on stage is what I enjoy.

I have a real problem with stillness. With just stopping and being quiet.

If I ever tried to take credit for what God deserves the credit, He would be displeased with me, and I'm more interested in pleasing Him than pleasing ego or vanity.

Sometimes, you turn back. Sometimes, you walk away. And sometimes, you find the place you're meant to be, and you stay there. You find a way to make it work. Whatever it takes.

If you start throwing hedgehogs under me, I shall throw a couple of porcupines under you.

Tomorrow is not a promise, but a chance.

Fairly large print is a real antidote to stiff reading.

We do not keep the outward form of order, where there is deep disorder in the mind.

Wealth and honor, benefits and blessings shall enrich my life; poverty and failures, grief and anxiety shall help fulfill it. In my life, I will serve heaven and earth; in death I will find peace.
