Because of the way we let the actors improvise, it feels like you're watching people react rather than actors reading lines - so I think that's always going to be something I like.

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.

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.

What do I believe that I deserve in this life?

Footsteps are the wonders of staying alive to move forward

Learning how to be still, to really be still and let life happen - that stillness becomes a radiance.

What is extraordinary about contemporary art is the energy - it has our energy. New energy. Pieces hundreds of years old are beautiful from an aesthetic point of view, but without our modern energy.

The ways of creation are wrapt in mystery. We may only marvel, and bow our head.

Love, children, and work, are the great sources of fertilizing contact between the individual and the rest of the world.

It's a nice reader, but there's nothing on the iPad I look at and say, 'Oh, I wish Microsoft had done it.'

I'm not at all competitive. I'd rather play Solitaire than ping-pong.

Marketing isn't done by computers, it's done by people. And people who sense opportunity and have the confidence to be remarkable will always defeat defensive actions by people who have given up.

I really try to put myself in uncomfortable situations. Complacency is my enemy.
