I had worked so hard for so long that I developed a speech impediment. It happens when I get tired.

You need an R rating because without one, you can't advertise and the film won't get shown.

I don't believe in using too much graphic violence, although I've done it. It's better to be suggestive and to allow the viewer to fill in the blanks in their minds.

I think the Chainsaw remake is very good and captures the spirit of the original film. It's true to the tone of the original, to the point that it's almost a companion piece.

If one sees the American Nightmare first and Chainsaw after that, you'll see it in a different kind of light.

Law students have taken over Hollywood. To them it's all about making money. They know people want to see what they've seen before. Also, remakes are places to showcase the new stars of tomorrow.
