I don’t care about the genre so much. I’m good with horror, but I like other genres, too.
The Way I See It: If you’re worried about getting a job-or keeping one-start a company of your own. By doing so, you’ll reap the rewards of your hard work and you’ll only get fired if you fail. This is the land of opportunity. Live in it.
All men think they’re fascinating. In my case, it’s justified.
Any time a writer thinks he has all the answers to how someone should talk or react or end a scene, it’s a spontaneity-killer.
I see parody as another form of comedy.
If you go to Hollywood, you’ve already sold out.
You’ll lose about two million brain cells every minute that goes by.
There is a large element of me in every role I do.
You have to take the horror seriously but there’s gags aplenty. Most people, when they do horror it’s just grim.
I’ve always enjoyed playing a little left of center characters. Otherwise I’d be on a soap opera.
You can’t get a movie made without a script; it’s the blueprint to your building.
The happy medium is television. And if you find a good suitor, you can do it for years. With movies, you roll the dice. If people don’t show that weekend, you’re doomed. TV allows you to percolate a little bit, and it gives you a chance for people to find it.
It’s very gratifying that someone likes what you’re selling.
You’re not looking for the Rolls Royce and the big fancy trailer. Those are supposed to be the byproducts of having fun and then getting good at what you do.
Digital blood is not effective.
I’m sick of over-trained heroes. I’m really bored with that. Guys that are just ripped to shreds and full of skills. That’s boring me. Give me the mechanic that picks up a weapon. Now I’m interested. That’s my hero.
Horror I appreciate is one of the few genres that can wind the audience up and make them pay attention. I kind of like that. It’s one of the few genres that can be very manipulative.
Sometimes you fail your chemistry test and other times it’s explosive.
You couldn’t make a cheap drama. That would be too low-budget. Drama has to have good photography and well-known actors.
I’ll do more than the average actor, but I’m smart enough to know why stunt guys exist.
