I remembered watching the film from Alfred Hitchcock, ‘Dial M for Murder,’ and he shot almost all of that movie in one room. There was a genius in what Hitchcock did by manipulating things in that room so that you could see the distances between things like the tables and the vases because of how he used perspective Picture Quote #1

I remember when I was very young, I had a fever - a long rheumatic fever in bed for four months. And in the days, I stayed alone with the maid. I only had my father’s books with me. They were fantasy books about ghosts, and also books by Edgar Allen Poe that made a forever impression on me Picture Quote #1

When I see a film I’ve finished, it’s like another person made it. Like another mind Picture Quote #1

You must push everything to the absolute limit or else life will be boring. People will be boring Picture Quote #1

Americans are very enthusiastic. We have a new generation of moviegoers who love great horror films. I am a very imaginative man, and for me, it’s easy to speak with my dark side. I have very beautiful, interesting nightmares Picture Quote #1

Horror is the future. And you cannot be afraid. You must push everything to the absolute limit, or else life will be boring. People will be boring.

I don’t like landscapes. I like cities. Lots of cities. I like buildings. I like streets Picture Quote #1
