I think the traditional explanation is that demons just find someone, they pick on them and try to break down their spirit so they can... take control of their bodies. Why exactly? I don't know.

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.

Perfectionism is not the path that leads us to our gifts and to our sense of purpose

When angry count four when very angry swear.

There's a set of rules out there somewhere that says it all ends by 40. I hope to be able to defy that because I truly love my work.

Likewise and during every day of an unillustrious life, time carries us. But a moment always comes when we have to carry it.

There is something splendid about innocence; but what is bad about it, in turn, is that it cannot protect itself very well and is easily seduced.

I overthink a lot of things.

One who breaks an unjust law must do so openly, lovingly, and with a willingness to accept the penalty.

So many people have really wanted to die. They seem ashamed to say so. I think it would help if they would say so

Everything I do now is about growing the pot to have more to give away.

Whipped cream isn't whipped cream at all if it hasnt been whipped with whips, just like poached eggs isn't poached eggs unless it's been stolen in the dead of the night.
