I do believe that there are monsters out there - and that they are monsters.

Monsters almost always are culture's way of working out their fears and are thus inherently incredibly interesting and powerful.

Hype is scary.

In a deeply tribal sense, we love our monsters, and I think that is the key to it right there. It is monsters; it is learning about them: it is both thrill and safety. You can think of them without being desperately afraid because they are not going to come into your living room and eat you. That is 'Jaws.'

I can see every monster as they come in.

Most of the monsters... are based on some sort of mythology. Every culture and even some geographical areas have monsters and mythology that is their own.

I don't want to believe my own hype.
