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

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.

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.

Women talk when they want to. Or don't.

Spring is the fountain of love for thirsty winter

It took me realizing that a broken heart has never actually killed anyone to find the courage to ask for what I want, in just about every situation. That was part of my own growing up.

All I'm saying is that minerals are just a rudimentary form of consciousness whereas the other people are saying that consciousness is a complicated form of minerals.

Asceticism is not that you should not own anything, but that nothing should own you.

We're all used to seeing pretty people. I want to see real people.

I like a high boot on a girl.

It's a hard thing to describe. It's just this sense that you got something to say.

I had no kind of work ethic and I always felt that music - especially rock 'n' roll - was a more for boys.

When one reaches out to help another he touches the face of God.
