I don't like the fact that people are supposed to think horror movies have a way things should go. I always try to do the exact opposite of what people expect and want.

Every cool riff has already been written by Black Sabbath. You're either playing it faster or slower or backwards, but they wrote it first.

The science fiction method is dissection and reconstruction.

You can't live a healthy life on a sick planet.

The thirst to know and understand a large and liberal discontent.
