Quotes

"I'd just be obsessed with a movie. I'd need more. So we'd make Super-8s at home. It's funny I should remake Halloween, because one of the movies I made as a kid in high school was a sequel to [Carpenter's] Escape from New York. Later, you know, I moved to New York to go to school, got kicked out, and worked as a bike messenger and on Pee-wee's Playhouse, and then started a band. Making movies seemed like, How do you do that? I don't even have money to eat. I'm not gonna make movies."

"It's great now for kids, make some goofy movie, stick it on YouTube, and you're a hero. Back then, it was like: Man, I can't wait till I can save enough money to develop the film."

"I think so much about everything. I'm obsessive."
