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.

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.

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.

I pay a lot of attention to box office because I understand it. TV ratings? I don't know how to interpret them, since I'm new to TV, so I'm just going to wait for somebody to tell me.

Just because you don't understand it doesn't mean it isn't so

Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently.

I'm one of the luckiest Arab actors on the planet, because I've done, I think, two of the finest Arab roles that have been out in mainstream cinema for a very long time.

The time for action is now. It's never too late to do something.

Trump is not somebody who's fit to be president in any circumstances. I would feel deeply frustrated, not because anything he said about me, but because I would fear for the future of our country.

I try to perfect my strong points and make my weaknesses adequate.

I have mood poisoning. Must be something I hate.

I've never written a song about DNA or anything that I work on. But I just think that DIY aspect, and the creativity and the belonging and acceptance is what drew me in.

Coal is a portable climate.

A wise man should so write (though in words understood by all men) that wise men only should be able to commend him.
