"The ideal husband understands every word his wife doesn't say."
"There is something more important than logic: imagination"
"Drama is life with the dull bits left out. There is no terror in the bang, only in the anticipation of it. I believe in putting the horror in the minds of the audience, and not necessarily on the screen. The length of a film should be directly related to the endurance of the human bladder."
"When we think we have been hurt by someone in the past, we build up defenses to protect ourselves from being hurt in the future. So the fearful past causes a fearful future and the past and future become one."
"In feature films the director is God; in documentary films God is the director."
