I like fantasy. I like horror, science fiction because I can get avant-garde with those performances in those movies.

As a teenager I was more of an anarchist, but now I want people to thrive and be harmonious.

Sometimes I do love to rehearse, but I always switch it up depending on whom I'm working with.

Halloween has always been fascinating to me from a very young age. I think any actor would be fascinated by Halloween because it's one of the only holidays that advocates dressing up in makeup and costumes and transforming oneself.

Science fiction is a way that I can go into the abstract, go into the imagination, and audiences are still willing to go along for the ride.

I got a little tired of movies where I had to shoot people. I got to thinking about the power of film and what that power is. The power is in fact that it really can change people's minds.

I'm not really gadget oriented. I'm not into technology or computers. I'm not good at interfacing with that sort of gear.

Remakes are always a challenge and they always are sitting ducks.
