I love Sam Peckinpah.

I'm a big John Woo fan.

I like the 'Twilight' films.

The deep sea is a scary world.

I don't have anything against CGI.

I see my actors as my collaborators.

I have a tendency to overcut my movies.

You can never have too much good blessing.

It's actually smarter to make a dumb film.

Geoff Johns is super talented, super smart.

I grew up loving X-Men, Spider-Man and Batman.

You can only go by the instinct that you have.

It's pretty scary to know how quickly time flies.

Critics tend to be very hard on the horror genre.

I use myself as the barometer to gauge what is scary.

I'm always excited when I can discover new filmmakers.

What I would like with the Internet is to have it go faster.

I always believe your instinct is the most correct instinct.

No one knows how much we went through to finish 'Furious 7.'

I am a student of cinema, and I love filmmaking of all kinds.

I come from a very straight and adjusted suburban background.

The Internet is one of the biggest advances ever in our world.

I never realized how much I cherished having creative freedom.

No one pretty much tells me what kind of horror films to make.

The stuff I'm designing, I want my action scenes to be intense.

I think I should have made 'Dead Silence' as an independent movie.

The flack I got for 'Saw' is why I wanted to direct 'Insidious 2.'

Marketing has taken such a complete shift, thanks to the internet.

I didn't direct any of the 'Saw' sequels, but people thought I did.

I definitely love to be scared. It draws the primal side out of you.

There's really no reason to rehash something that you've already seen.

I try to keep the number of projects I'm involved in down to one per year.

I took a break from horror; I made three ghost movies back-to-back-to-back.

So many movies get made, and so many go to VOD, which is a market I admire.

Whatever it is that makes your movie unique is something you should embrace.

I love what I did in 'Death Sentence,' but that was a low budget action film.

'Insidious' is independent. It's like the 'Clerks' of horror films, you know?

As we all know, Aquaman is somewhat the butt of the joke in the superhero world.

I think storytelling is storytelling. It doesn't matter what format it's shot on.

I think a lot of the Disney cartoons are scary when you watch them at a young age.

Still one of my favorite movies is the original 'The Haunting.' I love that style.

'Saw' really came from that want, the aspiration to make a feature film on our own.

If you don't do the suspense correctly, then your jump scares are not going to work.

If your franchise has been around for awhile you have to find ways to keep it fresh.

For me, what usually makes a horror sequence scary is the journey not the destination.

All my movies are about people with some ideology, but guess what? It never works out.

Just because I make movies in the scary world doesn't mean I want to visit scary worlds.

Science fiction is a big, big love of mine. I would love to get into that at some point.

The very first movie that I ever saw in a theater was 'Snow White and the Seven Dwarves.'

We all agreed that violence begets violence, and you can't solve issues with more violence.
