I love monsters, I love creatures, I love beings, I love aliens. That's more supernatural and more the stuff of fairy tales. Fairy tales are as ancient as we are. I love those stories. I think they're really interesting because they always have more than simply the fright aspect. There's something deeply psychological.

I'm not interested in gothic storytelling or the horrific for its own sake. I'm always interested in it as a way of getting at larger ideas or important meaning. And you don't see that as much as you'd think in the history of horror cinema. A lot of times, it's scariness for scariness' own sake.

I loved fairy tales when I was a kid. Grimm. The grimmer the better. I loved gruesome gothic tales and, in that respect, I liked Bible stories, because to me they were very gothic.

As a kid, I was obsessed with myths and legends and the haunting beauty of gothic stories.

I love monsters.

I love all of mythology and rules pertaining to all of the monsters, but I like to go the extra step.

I do enjoy Gothic fiction or books about zombies if they are well written and I like vampires.

I like being scared, so I've always liked fairy tales because they're kind of creepy.

I'm not really into gothic music, it's not really my type of scene but each to their own. I listen to pretty much anything.

What I've absorbed of the gothic or paranormal has come mainly from films.
