I've always worked with a team of actors and filmmakers ever since I was a kid in Michigan making Super-8 movies.
You know, I put my little brother in the movies and he's still in the pictures. My mother makes me put him in the pictures.
I'm not certain, but I have a little gypsy blood in me. And my mother always told me that her grandma could give someone the evil eye, and I'd better not cross her because she had some of that blood in her. Mother always believed that she could predict the future, and she had dreams that came true.
I don't like movies about serial killers, necessarily; it's too real and unpleasant for me.
Some movies to me are like vampires - they suck all of the energy out of me and I don't like that. I like to give the audience energy if I can.
Any time anyone makes a comic book into a movie, in some way, I think they have to kill the comic book.
I think movies lost a lot when they went to stereo and five-track sound.
I like a good mono track, it's right up front. I don't need all the surrounds telling me there are birds in the neighbourhood.
I'm too obsessed that the people who say critical things about me are right, even though I'm getting to do something I love.
I had a reporter ask me what it was like to have my best years over so soon. It stayed with me.
My father told me to dress to reflect the respect you have for the people around you. I've never forgotten that.
I think in every picture that I've ever made. Everything that I've done torments me. I really would like another chance except I'd be too embarrassed to ever really try to do them again and no one would want to see the same movie just done differently.
