“The best horror walks a line that's completely on a psychological leve...” — Karyn Kusama Quote

The best horror walks a line that's completely on a psychological level, not needing the typical tropes of traditional horror filmmaking, then also having to tease out those elements in a way that makes the audience feel like they know what they're in.

It's extremely instructive to realize that you cannot do everything. You need to delegate, to find experts, to consult with them. A big part of the job of directing is knowing when to take something on and when you shouldn't.

If you look at most mainstream filmmaking, to be honest, some of these films aren't even asking questions anymore at all.

I would love to take another stab at really smart, speculative sci-fi - my first was a bit of a stumble. I look forward to getting another chance.

It's more interesting for me as an audience member to see a movie about a loser.

The court dramas shown in films and TV are often superficial. They should have a gripping storyline, which can keep the audience hooked.

I am an actor. Let me act, let me audition. Let me show what I can do. You need to surprise yourself every time and that will surprise the audience or casting person.

Ultimately, theatre takes place in the minds of the audience: they all imagine the same thing at the same time.

We are being entertained all the time - in the bathroom, on the train, in our beds. Sure, there is a smaller audience for theater. But we know from radio that entertainment never goes away, it just changes. And more power to it.
