I Had A Talent For Scoring Films;

Remakes, In General, Are A Result Of Necessity Being The Mother Of Invention. They Can't Open Movies Consistently And Break Through The Advertising Clutter That's Out There.

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].

What A Director Does... Essentially, It's Storytelling, But A Director Also Controls The Feeling And The Sounds And The Texture. It's An Act Of Creation, Like A Symphony Or A Painting Or A Story. But With Different Tools.

I Think There Are Certain Subjects I Don't Want To Tackle, That I Don't Think I Could Do A Good Job With. I Don't Think I'd Be Good With... Broad Comedy? I Don't Know. Maybe I Would.

I'm Always Involved With Casting My Movies. I Have Final Word On It.
