I don't see that many movies lately that are actually about something, that are trying to challenge something about the way that people interact.

When you first think of making a monster movie you have to realize that a lot of people may be down on you because there is a big prejudice against such films.

I think of each movie as a puzzle. The fun is in solving the puzzle: finding a musical identity for the picture, however that can be summed up.

Really interesting genre films, especially monster movies, evoke the fears of the times intentionally.

It's great to be in a film that's able to have people really want to become socially conscious, to walk out of the theatre and want to do something.

It's always an interesting sort of adventures that gets someone into a movie.

Movies are weird; it's like trying to make a painting with one hundred people. It's a weird world, but every job is weird; it's always a little bit hard, crazy and fun, a nice combination.

I like movies that challenge people to recognize different things.

A movie set is like a petri dish for neuroses, you know? It's just, like, egos and weird personalities and, more than anything, fear.

A movie is so visually powerful, so overwhelming, that it tends to crowd out how you might have imagined things.
