I grew up watching Sean Young films with my father; we've always been huge fans of hers. A surprising fact is that she loves to work on comedies, which was great for me to hear, because then I could ask her a million questions about 'Fatal Instinct,' which was a VHS I wore out from the video store.

A little bit of neurosis is OK as a performer, but untethered, it can tear one apart.

I'm a huge Jackie Chan fan, and my boyfriend is Taiwanese, and he doesn't like to read. He had this Jackie Chan book, and I was asking him questions about him, and he didn't know, and I said, 'What do you mean you don't know? You have the Jackie Chan autobiography right there on the bookshelf!'

Sean Young is such a sweetheart and just absolutely lovely. From day one, she was just very easy to be around. She's definitely a 'mom' and very much a girl's girl. She likes talking about makeup and the business and just being a woman.

I'm a horror movie fan; I'm an avid fan and have been since I was five years old. My father and I watched horror movies, so this is a genre that is very close and very important to me.

Being on a low-budget film is difficult enough, and you may as well be working on something that you really believe in and you really love, and for me, that's to play different characters, to play different roles, and challenge myself.

You always feel pressure to do your best, and when you know that the story revolves around you, it can become very overwhelming.

When you're the good guy in a horror film, you're usually suffering a lot throughout the entire thing.

There's a certain joy in taking a dramatic narrative and then adding that element of horror to it.

In elementary school, I was always writing little plays for my friends to be in. I was much more of a director than a performer.

I always tell people, 'If you say you don't like horror, it just means that you haven't found the right movie.'

Ruth Gordon was such a delight to watch in 'Rosemary's Baby' after I had first seen her in 'Harold and Maude.' And Ellen Burstyn is a hero of mine from 'Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore,' The Exorcist,' 'Requiem For A Dream.' These women impacted me greatly as an actress.

'Pod' was a significantly larger crew with Ilium Pictures co-producing. 'Darling' was bare bones. We had less than half of the crew that we had for 'Pod.'

I want to make movies that I would want to watch as a fan.
