My favorites movies are always character driven, it's the human equation that makes horror interesting to me, not the monsters. It's how people handle extreme circumstances.

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

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 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.

I want find to beauty in the world but to do so requires you to acknowledge and confront the darkness.

I've always been attracted to the idea of ghosts being memories frozen in time, that a psychological haunting can be just as terrifying as a supernatural one.

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.

Proust has pointed out that the predisposition to love creates its own objects; is this not also true of fear?

There's definitely privilege in the upper classes, but as a whole, music can be enjoyed by anybody who can gather around a radio.

In my entire life growing up I've never heard my dad say an unkind word about anyone. My father has always taken the high road in life and to me he's a complete inspiration without being a pushover.

If you do enough things, you're going to eventually narrow it down to the things that really make you happy.

I argue that we should be kind, we should be compassionate, and we should definitely be reasonable and rational, but that empathy leads us astray.

The people of our city are holding on by a thread. Time has run out. Can we survive another night? And who can we depend on? Only God knows.

Whether you have a leadership title or not, you have the potential to either lead your organization beyond all expectations or inhibit its growth through entropy.

In the Scottish Orkneys, the little stone houses with their single large room and central hearth had an extraordinary range of built-in furniture.

Change is never a loss - it is change only.
