Patriotism consists not in waving the flag, but in striving that our country shall be righteous as well as strong.
I like to watch many things, especially strange films and something recent, not just the story.
Horror is like a serpent; always shedding its skin, always changing. And it will always come back. It can't be hidden away like the guilty secrets we try to keep in our subconscious.
I like women, especially beautiful ones. If they have a good face and figure, I would much prefer to watch them being murdered than an ugly girl or man. I certainly don`t have to justify myself to anyone about this. I don`t care what anyone thinks or reads into it. I have often had journalists walk out of interviews when I say what I feel about this subject.
The process of writing and directing drives you to such extremes that it's natural to feel an affinity with insanity. I approach that madness as something dangerous, and I'm afraid, but also I want to go to it, to see what's there, to embrace it. I don't know why, but I'm drawn.
Each film I make changes me in some way. When I start the picture I'm one person and by the time I finish I'm another.
Films are dreams. Many, many critics say to me that my films are not good because they are too unbelievable, but this is my style. I tell stories like they are dreams. This is my imagination. For me, it would be impossible to do a film that is so precise, that resembles real life.
I love lipbalms in general; they're very important!
Science is not something that exists apart from human beings. It's one of the things we do as human beings, and we always have done science and technology in some form.
I'm saying, that just kept, messing it up for everybody! And then everybody on your team doesn't have that drive that you have.
If you depend on a single industry, if you don't continuously upgrade it, if that industry is not producing real wealth, if it's simply shuffling paper from here to here in a very efficient manner sometimes, that's not enough and that's not where you begin to get the rest of your jobs.
