Those films that really speak to the primal fear that we, as human beings, have about the unknown have always intrigued me. That’s the really scary thing, not the slasher, macabre movies. It’s the ones that deal with the inner fear: the unknown realms and the mysticisms that are scary.

I never play a villain that I don’t have something I can either do or say so the audience sees there is something redeemable about them. In other words, I don’t want to do evil for evil’s sake. I don’t want to do Jason slasher movies. There’s no point in that.

What you don’t want is for violence and gore to become more important than character and structure.

Horror is fascinating because it’s so seasonal and it’s like you’ve got these periods where slasher movies are in and it’s like everyone loves them. Next thing you know zombies are in. Then vampires are acceptable.
I really do like a really good science fiction movie and a really good horror movie. Those are the kinds of things I really like. But, I mean, I’m not into sort of like slasher movies. I like a really good science fiction movie, which is hard to do. They don’t make many really good ones any more.
