I never made movies that had any of my music. I haven't crossed them over that much.
I like movies where you can come back and re-watch them and admire the cinematography 25 years later.
Dreaming be damned, this is control. Raping your soul, devil's hole.
Every time I start the next movie, it's as exciting as the first time.
I'm never aiming to make a movie like someone else's movie, but in order to describe a movie to someone else who hasn't seen it, you usually have to reference things they have seen.
As far as directors, I'm a big fan of any kind of Billy Wilder stuff. Anything he does.
Sometimes things just aren't of their time, and they take a minute to catch on, or they find an audience later. Sometimes bizarre little films are the ones that everyone remembers later. With most big major blockbusters, people will have already forgotten about it two weeks after it came out.
When I came off the Halloween movies, they were very stressful movies to make. That had been four very stressful years. I'm happy with how they turned out, but getting the end results took so much fighting with people and so much craziness, that at the end of it I was so burnt out.
No matter how successful the remake is, it seems to me it's forgotten quickly after and it's the original that still lives on.
I just like movies, not one particular kind or genre. In fact, movies that are harder to classify I like more.
Why does everybody thing things are always contractual? I saw a shitload of questions and thought "better keep these answers short or I'll never get to all of these".
People would always say horror movies always thrive during times of war; that's just what people would say. And I don't know if they thrived during World War II or Vietnam, but I thought that's kind of strange, why would that happen. I don't know if people rearrange their priorities; in good times, they freak out and start pointing the fingers at video games and TV, but when horrible things are happening in the world, it [horror movie] just seems a little ridiculous.
I find making trailers really frustrating, because sometimes the worst trailers are for the best movies.
A lot of times the best trailers are for complete dogshit movies. It's a shame that people are beyond quick to judge things these days. Lots of great stuff gets lost that way.
