I think more than comedy, probably more than straight drama, I like horror. And horror I think I'm particularly good at. It's a mistake a lot of directors make, especially young directors.

The most basic principle to being a free American is the notion that we as individuals are responsible for our own lives and decisions.

When things get tough, this is what you should do: Make good art. I'm serious. Husband runs off with a politician -- make good art.

Someone on the Internet thinks what you're doing is stupid or evil or it's all been done before -- make good art.
Whatever the reasons that I turn things down, I'm always happy when there's a good result, and I can enjoy it as a movie, you know? I don't feel like, 'Oh man, that was really good.
