When people direct insults at me, I can take it.

People want to be disturbed when they go see a horror movie.

The best movies now are called 'thrillers.' Because if you use the word 'horror,' people's associations are straight-to-video crap.

You have to trust your instincts and hope the fans like what you do, but you don't gut check with the fans. If we're going to make a series, people are going to have a lot of opinions and if there's one overwhelming majority or one thing you continuously hear repeated from the fans, you certainly take that into account going into next season.

I hear what people say, I read all the reviews, all the blogs, and I am always curious to hear it, because you can't always listen to the good press, you have to hear the bad press, too.

Quentin Tarantino faced the same backlash when his films came out until eventually people felt they were actually much smarter.

Hopefully we'll get to a point where people realize movies don't cause violence. It just reflects the violence going on in the culture.

The scariest people are usually the sweetest.

I want to have an ending where people say: "That's the most shocking ending I've ever seen in a mainstream horror film."
