Evil Hiding Among Us Is An Ancient

Horror Is Always The Same. It Changes With The Culture And Changes With Technology. The Stories Are Always The Same. There Are Just Two Basic Stories In Horror, Two Simple Ones -- Evil Is Outside And Evil Is In Here [points To His Heart].

When I Got Into The Movie Business, Working With Actors Was The One Thing I Was Really Weak At. I Didn't Know What To Say To Actors. They Scared Me And Intimidated Me. The Actors That I've Worked With Who Have Had A Lot Of Experience, Or Who I've Even Grown Up Watching As A Kid, Were Really Scary. I Was Like, "what Am I Going To Say To This Person?" But, I've Matured. It's Fun. I Understand What Actors Do Now.

It Is An Act Of Courage To Make A Film - A Courage For Which You Are Not Prepared In The Rest Of Life. It Is Very Hard And Very Destructive. But We Do It Because We Love It.
