"The problem with doing a schlocky or big budget studio film is that it wouldn't actually be fun for me. It wouldn't be exciting."

Film

"I never thought I was doing the same thing as directors like John Carpenter, George Romero, and sometimes even Hitchcock, even though I've been sometimes compared to those other guys. We're after different game."

Thought

"For example I don't work with William Hurt the same way that I will work with Viggo. They're different guys and they work in different ways. So a good sensitive director has his general style and technique and personality that he uses but you don't impose that on the actors."

Work

People

Time

"I see technology as being an extension of the human body."

Technology

"Anybody who comes to the cinema is bringing they're whole sexual history, their literary history, their movie literacy, their culture, their language, their religion, whatever they've got. I can't possibly manipulate all of that, nor do I want to."

History

"So not only can you not imagine dying, you can't really imagine existence before you were born."
