“We always try to leave room for the actors to come in and make discove...” — Mike Flanagan Quote

“We always try to leave room for the actors to come in and make discoveries on set, in their interpretation of the scene. The shot list is scaffolding.”

“With 'Gerald's Game' in particular, we didn't have enough money or time and it was really hard.”

“There is only one act of violence in 'The Strangers' and it comes at the very, very end... the movie could have worked just as well if we didn't see it, in my opinion.”

“I get intrigued by a first lin and I write to find out why it means something to me. You make discoveries just the way the reader does, so you're simultaneously the writer and the reader.”

“My initial ideas are just a starting place. As a record goes along, it becomes more about making discoveries and getting excited about new songs.”

“You could not have predicted the amazing discoveries at Pluto, even though we have been to a couple of objects in the solar system that were at least a little analogous to Pluto.”
