Becoming a vampire means completely changing your identity.

I'd love to do a sci-fi movie, a western, or an espionage thriller. But I'm not going to limit myself. If a good script comes along, I'm not going to discount it because it doesn't fit into one of these genres.

In my opinion, all relationships between people have some sort of violence, and it is central.

I believe there are more films that involve love and forgiveness than violence, but they often seem fake and are almost embarrassing to watch.

I believe 'love' is very nice to hear, but it's used so much that it's come to a point where it's almost meaningless.

I guess I probably make violent films partly because I can't express my anger in my real life very well.

Living without hate for people is almost impossible.

I became a film director, but I wasn't successful with my first couple of films, so I had to turn to becoming a film critic to make a living.

When you consider the concept of vampirism, it is inherently part of a Western culture.

In our lives, we have good things and bad things, happiness and pain.

I grew up in a very Catholic family. Up until puberty, I would go to a Catholic church every week.

A priest encounters temptation every day, and some of that desire is very natural.
