It's pretty scary to know how quickly time flies.

For me and my films, I want my audience to experience cinema in its full glory. It's not just visual, it's audio as well. It's emotional, and I want you to be engaged with not just the scene but with the characters.

If you don't do the suspense correctly, then your jump scares are not going to work.

For me, what usually makes a horror sequence scary is the journey not the destination.

Isn't it crazy to think that we've explored space more than we have explored the depths of our ocean? That just fires up my imagination about potential sea monsters and cool creatures, that kind of stuff.

'The Exorcist' is one of the finest movies ever made, and it just so happens to be a scary movie.

If I have free time, I want to go to the beach, walk around a shopping mall, go grocery shopping. Live a little bit of life.

'Poltergeist' was really the film that really scarred but fascinated me with puppets and dolls, clowns, and stuff like that. I've always been afraid of clowns, and then my fear of puppets came around, and 'Poltergeist' was the perfect combination to scare me with a clown doll.

If you care about the characters, then whatever scary thing happens to them, you feel it even more.
