I've watched 'Ringu' probably three or four times before writing the first draft of 'The Ring.' And then I'd seen 'Ringu 2' I think once.

Most horror films fail to scare me. I think 'The Ring' plays more as a psychological thriller. It's smarter, there's more character development and some of the themes explored go a little deeper.

I grew up watching 'The Ring,' 'The Grudge,' all those scary movies.

I like the George Romero films, which were really great, social satire movies; really twisted.

I liked Live and Let Die, where money was no object.

I find that I get most of the same things I loved about performing in the ring when I do my live shows around the world.

'Wings' was a blessing, but it was also very difficult. Whenever you do situation comedy, no matter how excellent the execution - and we had a great cast and great writers - but the format is somewhat limited.

I can't say I was like a die-hard zombie fan, but I've definitely seen a few different zombie movies and TV shows.

The early parodies that talk-show people did of rock n' roll in the '50s were terrible. They didn't know it, they didn't like it - and that's a lethal combination.
