I grew up in a haunted house, reading Dr. Seuss.

In Hollywood it's really tough to change genres; you have to re-prove yourself.

I tend to look way back for my inspiration: H.P. Lovecraft, Edgar Allen Poe.

A kid is something precious, and you want to protect it and keep it fun. I'm not a dad, but I've seen people and how they behave with their kids.

As a writer, I try to do different things, but I'm not going to become a darker artist or turn into Radiohead overnight. I don't think that's my style.

I'm basically a gift-giver.
