I throw it all in there, Kung Fu, blaxploitation, horror.

You just can't make any movie and it will be good now. This is a really a difficult time to be in films.

I think a lot comes from having the experience of doing stand-up comedy. It allows you to figure out the psychology of an audience; what things are funny and not.

In rare instances you have to give up what you thought was a great scene.

We've seen so many films now, that you have to be on par with the best films that have preceded you. You just can't make any movie and it will be good.

My brothers can be a little out of control sometimes and so somebody has to be able to keep them focused.

I go through a whole process with the actors first, building and creating characters, then I encourage them to sort of live in that character when they're in the screen.

I enjoy the character interplay. Sometimes the audience is not laughing, but smiling, and that is almost just as good because it keeps them ready to laugh.

It's the teenage and university crowd, so we give them lots of sex jokes and gross humour.

Creativity is the answer. I always prefer the creative solution to an expensive solution.

You can kind of feel when things are going to work out.

We felt like we had done as much as you can do with the slasher genre. We were trying to find the next group of scary movies that were ripe for parody.

I have been a director who has starred, participated on both sides of the filmmaking process.

There are two phases to a movie. First you shoot the movie, and then you make the movie. Generally, post-production is longer than filming.

I'm not on all the time. I like to have fun and be funny, but I'm much more of a thinker.

You do what it takes. It was on me to deliver.

Just making a good movie is hard to do.

This is really a difficult time to be in films.

I'm just calm under fire. I'm not intimidating at all.

It's rare that you cut out something that is really good. You screen all of it, and when the audience doesn't respond, you cut out whatever is holding the story down.

The pressures having grown up in this business can be really rough. And it is a testament to you that you have remained focused and NOT lost your mind.

I prefer the smaller budget versus the bigger budget because the mentality that goes along with big budget filmmaking doesn't really suit me; the mind-set that money is the answer.

I put the cameras on her and told her to be obnoxious as she could possibly could be. She was.

Slot machines are like crack for old people.

I like to have fun and be funny, but I'm much more of a thinker.

You never really know until you put the movie in front of an audience. I am a big advocate of screenings, which are getting harder and harder to do nowadays.

I always prefer the big laugh. That is always the objective, especially with a film like Scary Movie 2.

All I need is a camera and I'll make things happen.

We do nods to Charlie's Angels and Mission Impossible because they are popular with our fan base.

I throw it all in there, Kung Fu, blaxploitation, horror.

I put heavy emphasis on the characters.

We're gonna try and bring on all the different aspects of horror movie making and bring on guests and show all these old '50's B movies. Not the real corny ones, the real cool ones.

The thing is there have been American movies that are similar to Solaris, like Alien had a lot of things that are similar, although it's also got the horror element.

A win by an unsound combination, however showy, fills me with artistic horror.

You're going through the horror of it, you're going through the isolation of it but you're being empowered by reminding yourself that you're connected to everybody else.

As a small child, I felt in my heart two contradictory feelings, the horror of life and the ecstasy of life.

There is an element of anger among women who've been raped. There's certainly a major element of humiliation. But it really does seem like a medical condition of shock and horror.

Creation destroys as it goes, throws down one tree for the rise of another. But ideal mankind would abolish death, multiply itself million upon million, rear up city upon city, save every parasite alive, until the accumulation of mere existence is swollen to a horror.

Horror is the natural reaction to the last 5,000 years of history.

This horror of pain is a rather low instinct and... if I think of human beings I've known and of my own life, such as it is, I can't recall any case of pain which didn't, on the whole, enrich life.

Horror does not interest me, and so I know little of its practicioners, old or current.

For the last 30 years our cinemas have been ruled by science fiction and horror. We've had some very good Fantasy films in that time period, but for my tastes I still haven't seen fantasy done to absolute perfection. That is the hope I have in this project.

All of us have our individual curses, something that we are uncomfortable with and something that we have to deal with, like me making horror films, perhaps.

This is an area you always need to address when you're dealing with Dracula is the fact that there is something kind of attractive in his darkness - which there isn't in other horror characters.

I have done some short pieces that are not horror.

I think what sets this one apart is that there are two horror movie icons finally battling each other. You actually see them beat the crap out of each other instead of just terrorizing the kids in the movie.

I saw 'Food, Inc.' last night - it was like a horror movie. I'm definitely thinking about my food supply now and how I want to grow my own.

I'd never watch a horror film, but after I found out I was going to be in one, I watched, like, four of them, including The Shining, I was terrified - I couldn't sleep for days. But I wanted to get myself used to things I was going to see on the set.

You can't make people believe in you if you play a horror part with your tongue in your cheek.
