I'm really proud of Blair Witch Project as a film, but as far as the cultural phenomenon of it - that was just weird luck.

In horror, character development is often pushed aside in favor of the shock value. The best genre movies to me are movies like The Shining. You had a connection to the characters in that film.

We hit a stride where all self-consciousness disappeared.

I'm less interested in slasher, and go more for roles that can affect you on a personal level. I'm interested in human empathy in the movies I see, and in the ones I am a part of.

Actors are such an insecure breed.

I think as long as there are folks on the fringe who want to make movies, the indie scene will still be around. I do think it's getting harder to get them seen though.

Being behind a camera, in front of the camera, is my own little deconstructionist niche.

I've done almost 20 films and I still worry about not finding the next one.

I would love to direct some day. It's a good job for a control freak.

Pain is pain, joy is joy - you can't avoid bringing pieces of yourself into a role.

I ultimately have faith though, that good films will find their audience.

Don't be jealous, be agressive. Make 2012 yours!

When I get onstage in a play, I feel very safe, very protected, very fulfilled.

Let us assume nothing, and we shall not be moritifed.

If they watch me play, people will say I'm not into it or whatever. That's okay. I kind of like it. People don't know how much work I'm putting into it. They don't need to know.

Thank God that He has permitted us to live among the present problems. It is no longer permitted to anyone to be mediocre.

Evolution is a fairy tale for grown-ups.

I don't like being forced to reduce my thoughts to sound bites.

Nobody agrees with anybody else anyhow, but adults conceal it and infants show it.

Moslem: people who believe suicide is a good way to get laid.

I go, I go, look how I go, swifter than an arrow from a bow
