I Came From A Very Strict Background.

Something Like Nightmare On Elm Street, To Me, Was Kind Of An Examination Of Levels Of Consciousness And The Pain Of Facing The Truth, And How Easy It Is To Fall Asleep, Or Want To Fall Asleep.

I've Found That If You Have Two Films That Don't Perform Well It Doesn't Matter That You've Had A Bunch Of Successful Ones. The Phone Stops Ringing, And After Deadly Blessing And Swamp Thing That's What Happened.

I've Done A Few Interviews Where I Realized That 9/11 Was The Ultimate Home Invasion, Not To Be Glib About It. You Know, Where The Place That You Think Is Safe And The People That You Think Are Safe And Far From Evil Are Suddenly Just Slaughtered By It, And You Have No Control Over It.

You Can Look At What's Happened To America In The Last Years And Say A Lot Of People Were Asleep. A Lot Of People Were Not Staying Awake And Watching What Was Going On And Facing The Pain Of That And Dealing With It.i Don't Care If The Rest Of The Audience Doesn't Think Along Those Lines At All, Because The Audience Is A Huge Spectrum Of People, From People Who Are Introspective To People Who Just Want To Be Scared And Have Fun, And All The Points In Between.

I'm Having A Reputation Of Being Somebody Who Will Not Be Crazy. Not Descend To Doing Drugs And Spending An Enormous Amount Of Money, And Instead Delivering A Product To People. Something They Can Sell And Recoup Their Money And Make A Profit.
