My Mother Wouldn't Even Let Me Read

I Came From A Very Strict Background. [so If You Want To Make A Scary Movie] If You Were Raised As A Fundamentalist, Just Pull All The Skeletons Out Of Your Closet.

I Came To Terms With Living Mostly In A World Of Horror Pictures Or Genre Pictures.

[i Was] Feeling Like I'd Done Something Horrible, "i'm A Despicable Person And I'm Perverse," And All These Things, To A Sense Of The Power And The Necessity, In A Sense, Of Horror Films And Dealing With Dark Material.

I Wasn't Allowed To See Movies When I Was A Child. It Was Against The Religion I Was Raised In, Fundamentalist Baptist. I Didn't Go Into A Commercial Movie House Until I Was A Senior In College, And That Was On The Sly. It Wasn't Until I Was In Graduate School That I Immersed Myself In Films. Then, I Went To See All The Films By Bergman, Fellini, Etc.

But I Made Him The Deputy Secretary For Homeland Security Because That Added An Element Of Political Espionage.
