    “Good story is what horror is all about. That’s what I searched the world for, what I try to do.”

    “Good story could be as short as a poem or something, or as long as a novel. There’s no rules.”

    This is what makes him a master. He has a clear focus on the core storytelling component of film, and no preconceived notions as to what makes a good story. It’s a lot easier to find that revolutionary story if you’re not preoccupied in a search for some notion of what a story is supposed to be.

    I mean, some people would view you as one of the master directors of horror films.

    That’s nice. Sorry, I’m eating a Popsicle.

    I rarely laugh out loud when reading articles/interviews but that had me in stitches.

    It isn’t movies that scare me — real life scares me. I’d ask you to take a look around the world right now. A frightening place in reality. I don’t need movies to scare me.

    Oh, good, it’s not just me 😬
