Being behind a camera, in front of the camera, is my own little deconstructionist niche.

In horror, character development is often pushed aside in favor of the shock value. The best genre movies to me are movies like The Shining. You had a connection to the characters in that film.

I'm less interested in slasher, and go more for roles that can affect you on a personal level. I'm interested in human empathy in the movies I see, and in the ones I am a part of.

I get so much mail from young women saying that they are so insecure when they look at me, but they don't realize all of the flaws that I have.

I think for any actor, for the roles they deeply, truly want? They always have to audition for them.

Good breeding differs, if at all, from high breeding only as it gracefully remembers the rights of others, rather than gracefully insists on its own rights.
