Wes Craven was the guy who gave me my start, from my perspective, for almost no reason in particular.

Wes Craven is a wonderful friend, and we had a really good time together.

I know that Wes Craven feels watching horror films does have a psychological effect, in a good way. It is very cathartic. He might be right about that.

I always wanted to play a monster, and I also wanted to work with Wes Craven.

I think there is a feeling of old Hitchcock in there. There are parts that are tributes to some of the old great horror movies and the old great filmmakers.

I love Carpenter, I love Craven - these are all the classics - the Romeros of the world, but I think the biggest influence on me as a storyteller and as a filmmaker is actually Steven Spielberg. I love that even though Steven isn't known for being a horror director, he started out his career making scary movies.

I was lucky enough to have a plethora of types of roles before and during the horror movie part of my career.

I'm a huge horror movie fan. Beyond belief.

I didn't want to be known as a man who only made horror films. I made some - very few.

I don't understand it, but every horror film is huge. I would consider one, but I don't know if my heart would be in it.
