"A philosopher once asked, "Are we human because we gaze at the stars, or do we gaze at them because we are human"?"

"The book is the book and it will always be there. It's a quiet ending. In the book it's a contemplative ending which I think you could certainly do that in a movie."
"I think it's part of everybody's childhood, there are some wonderful Hammer movies and there are some dreadful ones."
"I know what I miss as a cinemagoer is that balance of films that actually scare me, they're so few and far between. I loved ghost stories, I love horror stories, I love all of that stuff, but I really yearn for something to actually frighten me."
"I think when you really adore something and you've grown up with it you almost don't want to be part of it. I want to enjoy it as a fan and don't want to ruin the magic."
