- I think as a child I was really afraid of groups that conformed. Cults were really an example of that. I'm attracted to fear. I'm attracted to movies that scare you. I knew I would just end up working in that realm.
- I was really into writing short fiction and also photography when I was a kid.
- I remember being at school during morning meeting and looking around at everybody, 350 kids, saying a prayer. We're all very young and no one knows what it means, and I remember feeling strange that people were just repeating words that they didn't understand. I refused to participate. For some reason I always rejected it, but respectfully.
- When I was a little kid, I loved horror films. I always liked being scared.
- I wasn't good enough to be a professional soccer player obviously but that was my first goal in life.
