I don't know about relationships. Maybe I'm supposed to travel and make films and meet people and have adventures instead.

My taste in films doesn't lead financers to think they are going to make a zillion dollars.

There are so many people I know who could be the greatest film-maker but who will never get the chance to make a movie; it's all about what somebody is going to make back. There are not a lot of romantic ideas about making movies anymore.

I've noticed that when people make vampire movies, they're always determining which of the rules they're going to stick to and which they'll abandon.

I tell myself, 'If I can wake up each day and be excited about what I'm doing, then I must be happy.' But then again, maybe I'm in denial.

I wanted to make an adult vampire film, not something for children.
