“I am always fascinated by the mental struggles that people and charact...” — Mike Flanagan Quote

“I am always fascinated by the mental struggles that people and characters have.”

“I always tend to tilt dark on an ending, because I feel like, especially with horror movies, those are the endings that don't evaporate. Those are the ones that stick with you.”

“I'm a firm believer that what you don't see is always scarier than what you do.”

“I find that the only way to make my characters really interesting to children is to exaggerate all their good or bad qualities, and so if a person is nasty or bad or cruel, you make them very nasty, very bad, very cruel. If they are ugly, you make them extremely ugly. That, I think, is fun and makes an impact.”

“Jack Reacher is one of the sexiest characters in fiction.”

“Language is always evolving. It's difficult to read Shakespeare now because language has shifted. Similarly, kids these days can get to the point really quick in about 140 characters or less because of these new tools.”
