Alas, how quickly the gratitude owed to the dead flows off, how quick to be proved a deceiver.

Well, outside of the tone, the big thing that I gained from working on horror film was how to shoot really quickly with no money.

Women of all looks, shapes, sizes, everything, if they recognize how beautiful they are-because they all are-then they carry it that way. And you can see that.
