So much of Hollywood is this kind of overly machismo, nonsensical view of masculinity, which I just don't find honest. I think it's this idea of - you know, we're told, well, 'Be a man, be a man.' But what does that mean, exactly? Does that mean you can't carry yourself with any fear? That you can't acknowledge that you're scared?

I mean do women like to get the crap scared out of them at the movies? Sure. Of course.

If you have Julia Roberts in a movie you're never really afraid for her because you know she's not going to die.

I've always had a problem showing fear on a film.

In all the horror films that I have done, all of those women were strong women. I don't feel I ever played the victim, although I was always in jeopardy.

Women like to be scared, but they don't like the blood and the gore, and especially movies that have violence and torture involving women. Women don't want to see that, I can tell you for damn sure right now.

The only men who aren't in fear of women's reactions are usually men who aren't born or who are dead.
