I haven't done lots of horror.

I've seen a lot of horror, but I'm not a horror guy.

Although I've said a million times that I'm not a horror writer, I do like horror.

I have done some short pieces that are not horror.

I don't write that much horror. People tell me my books are scary, but they're not really; I don't go there.

For me, it's very easy to write a horror movie that's just a succession of scary sequences, but it's hard to find horror movies that have a genuine theme to them that are really exploring some aspect of our psychology and our fears.

I'm not a horror guy, it's not my thing, but I respect it a lot. I know how hard it is to make, especially to make good.

I've only seen a couple horror movies in my lifetime. I don't like the ones that make you scream out in terror.

The horror genre is not my favorite. I think it's fun, there's a great place for it and I get a kick out of it, but some stuff I'm too old for. You can't just take 10 guys and stick them in a cabin and off them one at a time - I'm not vested.

I have been blessed to have been working since I was 11. I think horror is an underrated genre. When done really well like in 'The Ruins', it pays homage to some of the stuff I really love in the '70s and incurs some of that energy the fanbase really wants to see.
