Where 'Paranormal Activity' really comes into its own is its rhetoric of legitimacy - how it uses itself to authenticate itself, and thus furthers the pretence of being real.

Even when I was making the first 'Paranormal Activity,' I didn't tell anyone I was making it, not my friends or neighbors or co-workers. I just kind of found that there was nothing to gain by announcing to the world that you're doing something.

I think everything I do is normal, not paranormal but normal. It's using the power of the mind to achieve whatever we can endure.

I love the paranormal, because there, every genre I write can become one beacon for my imagination.

Even if you look at the 'Paranormal Activity' movies, at the end of the movie things get really crazy and nutty, but they all start in a very mundane situation that people can relate to, and that's also to some degree what we tried to do in 'Chernobyl Diaries.'

But I do believe in the paranormal, that there are things our brains just can't understand.

I think I'm always going to be a paranormal girl at heart. I'm always going to be intrigued by it.

I have always been interested in the paranormal and afterlife, everything from ghosts to angels. I think that everyone has that curiosity of the great unknown.

It's good to have mysteries. It reminds us that there's more to the world than just making do and having a bit of fun.

I'm just considering myself extremely lucky. All I wanted is to have 'Paranormal Activity' be released and become successful. And everything that's happened since then is just an enormous bonus.
