I Work With My Dreams Or Nightmares.

You Start Selling The Movie Before You Make It.

I Think Of Horror Films As Art, As Films Of Confrontation. Films That Make You Confront Aspects Of Your Own Life That Are Difficult To Face. Just Because You're Making A Horror Film Doesn't Mean You Can't Make An Artful Film.

I Have No Rules. For Me, It's A Full, Full Experience To Make A Movie. It Takes A Lot Of Time, And I Want There To Be A Lot Of Stuff In It. You're Looking For Every Shot In The Movie To Have Resonance And Want It To Be Something You Can See A Second Time, And Then I'd Like It To Be Something You Can See 10 Years Later, And It Becomes A Different Movie, Because You're A Different Person. So That Means I Want It To Be Deep, Not In A Pretentious Way, But I Guess I Can Say I Am Pretentious In That I Pretend. I Have Aspirations That The Movie Should Trigger Off A Lot Of Complex Responses.

When We Talk About Violence, We're Talking About The Destruction Of The Human Body, And I Don't Lose Sight Of That. In General, My Filmmaking Is Fairly Body-oriented, Because What You're Photographing Is People, Bodies.

For Me, The First Fact Of Human Existence Is The Human Body. But If You Embrace The Reality Of The Human Body, You Embrace Mortality, And That Is A Very Difficult Thing For Anything To Do Because The Self-conscious Mind Cannot Imagine Non-existence. It's Impossible To Do.
