I figured that, if you do a vampire movie in Hollywood, you've made it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
There are many vampires in the world today... you only have to think of the film business.
I've noticed that when people make vampire movies, they're always determining which of the rules they're going to stick to and which they'll abandon.
Over the years all these vampire movies have come out and nobody looks like a vampire anymore.
I wanted to make an adult vampire film, not something for children.
I'm not a vampire movie fan, per se. That's not to say that I haven't enjoyed movies with vampires in them.
Every vampire fiction reinvents vampires to its own needs. You take what you want.
You don't make a movie, the movie makes you.
All writers are vampires.
When Carpenter was shooting 'Vampires' in New Mexico when I was living there, I desperately tried to get a job working on that film, and I couldn't. So my first job as a PA was on a CBS movie of the week that was shooting next door, and whenever I could, I would sneak over so I could watch.
Vampires aren't made - they're just born that way, and no one knows why. They're sort of a race unto themselves.
