I Saw Alien When I Was 8

Shooting At Quentin Tarantino Movie Was Like A Masterclass In Directing. Although I Went Back Literally Right Into Rehearsal, Started Shooting... While I Was Doing It I Had To Write My Grindhouse Trailer And I Added Two Days Of Shooting. My Brother Was Producing Hostel And The Grindhouse Trailer And I Was Like: "gabe, Just Figure This Out!"

I Think That Horror Films Have A Very Direct Relationship To The Time In Which They're Made. The Films That Really Strike A Film With The Public Are Very Often Reflecting Something That Everyone, Consciously Or Unconsciously Feeling - Atomic Age, Post 9-11, Post Iraq War; It's Hard To Predict What People Are Going To Be Afraid Of.

Well, Anytime I Make A Movie, I Like To Load It Up With More Things Than You Could Ever Catch On The First Viewing.

I Saw Alien When I Was 8 Years Old. To Me, It Was Like A Combination Of Jaws And Star Wars And That's The Movie That Made Me Want To Be A Director.

In Musical Theater, If You Have A Song, It Has To Advance The Plot. If You Have A Song In A Musical And It Does Not Advance The Plot, It Gets Dropped.
