I've always had better luck learning things on my own. And I really love the challenge of doing it yourself and kind of being alone against the system.

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.

In many cases your imagination is much more effective than what can be shown. It primes you to know something is about to happen - the anticipation and anxiety is worse than what ends up happening.

Not knowing the thing that’s chasing you is a lot scarier than seeing it right in front of you

Almost any movie, no matter how original, is borrowing from some other movies.

After I watched 'The Exorcist' I refused to watch any other movie that had anything to do with ghosts or demons. I didn't even watch 'Ghostbusters' until I was much older.

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade, and then throw it in the face of the person who gave you the lemons until they give you the oranges you originally asked for.

Today is the perfect day to do something daring. Like just be yourself, for instance.

Men and women who give [Christ] first place find that there is no need for anxiety about this world’s goods.

Once you've been number one, you can never be satisfied with less.

I am sick of the girl who cries 'wolf' all the time. Even though not one of those cries was ever a false alarm

Nobody living average, everybody jang-a-lang. Nobody living savage, everybody got change.

Equanimity is a perfect, unshakable balance of mind.

My cancer continues to make for all kind of hilarity.

There is no chance of a revolution in Georgia.

I hate this place. I shall hate it to my grave.
