Most of the European money now is off TV, and they're having a hard time now with anything that pushes the envelope.

When you're shooting super-low-budget - we had 20 days to shoot 'Diary,' and a little over $2 - time is money.

I think you're only free if you're working on very low or huge money.

If I tried to make money for a Jane Austen movie, I'd get laughed out of the office.

I like having to use ingenuity... When I'm pitching ideas, I say hey guys, the real scary stuff doesn't need the big bucks... things that go bump in the night... you can scare someone without spending a lot of money.

As movie monsters go, zombies are the most human. They were human at one time. So we are confronted with ourselves in a way, which is much more frightening and disturbing.
