I'm fascinated by the possibilities of human behavior, of how two people raised the same way can end up at such different places.

I always loved the idea that a photograph was a memory frozen in time.

I often think off-screen horror is more effective, it's the fear of what is lurking around the corner, just out of sight, that can leave you on the edge of your seat.

Much like photographs, I also love the idea that ghosts are memories frozen in time. We can be haunted by both just as horrifically. One really becomes a metaphor for the other.

If there's a great story and great characters, then I can love a film in any genre, though crime thrillers and sci-fi have a particular soft spot in my heart.

Hope is a pleasant acquaintance but an unsafe friend.

We must be as pure as our music.

I asked my doctor how many more years I have left and he said, 'You're too ornery to die.

It is impossible to reign innocently.

Every person has the right to look and feel like a million bucks.

That is the logical tight-rope on which we have to walk if we wish to interpret nature.

I don't think an NC-17 rating is the kiss of death. Nor do I think that, in the hands of the right filmmakers, studios have a preconceived notion to pass on NC-17 material.

You know, the Super Bowl is so fresh that every single commercial is even on, you know, some next-level entertainment.
