There are a lot of things I can take, and a few that I can't. What I can't take is when my older brother, who's everything that I want to be, starts losing faith in things. I saw that look in your eyes last night. I don't ever want to see that look in your eyes again.

'The Exorcist' is the scariest movie ever made. It just felt dead-on real, like you were watching the existence of the devil.

'The Last Airbender' is genetically engineered for me. I love martial arts. I study it. The movie's based on a lot of Buddhist and Hindu philosophy. I was raised Hindu.

I have a naive outlook on life. That's who I am.

I have worked hard and learnt that I have to make a decision - whether I am going to conform and protect myself or not. I chose not to.

I love my stories being multi-layered, and coming at it from different angles, so that you don't understand the film's true emotional motivation until the very end.

I offer originality: you don't know what my films are like until you go to them. I think that's the reason I've been getting all this attention.

I think I take what you might call a B-movie story, deal with B-movie subjects, and I treat it as if it's an A-movie in terms of my approach, my crew, my actors, my ethics and so on. I guess that's my trademark or one of them, anyway!

My secret to all casting, and specifically kids, is cast good human beings.

The first two movies I directed failed, when I was 21 and 23, and that was the greatest thing that could have happened.

The thing that's protected me creatively is that the movies have made profits.

When I was a kid, I had two great guilty pleasures. One was horror movies and the other was martial arts movies.

When you say 'fear of the unknown', that is the definition of fear; fear is the unknown, fear is what you do not know, and it's genetically within us so that we feel safe. We feel scared of the woods because we're not familiar with it, and that keeps you safe.

No amount of cajolery, and no attempts at ethical or social seduction, can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred for the Tory Party. So far as I am concerned they are lower than vermin.

A work will only have deep resonance if the kind of darkness I can generate is something that is resident in me already.

Nothing said to us, nothing we can learn from others, reaches us so deep as that which we find in ourselves.

I was very lucky. Things happened, both bad and good, but I never got into real, deep trouble. But it wore me down. By the time I was 18, I was done. I didn't want to live the life any more. I needed to develop past the point that busking takes you to.

I have a deep rooted folk sensibility that I can't get away from completely.
