Quote

My life has been the antithesis of that book 'The Secret'. I've always been interested in doing what I do. I love storytelling and I really enjoyed acting, but it never seemed like a realistic thing.

I do know that I've read somewhere that it's been statistically proven that in times of war, horror films are much more popular. I don't know why that is. You'd think it'd be the opposite. You'd think people would want to escape from it.

It's nice to know when you're a part of a story, it's nice to know at least something about the beginning, middle, and end.

I've been recognized very seldom. I think I just look different in person than I do as the character.

Wes Craven is obviously a horror film icon so I was definitely very interested in bringing something back to life that Wes had created.

You always take a little bit back with you at the end of the day. I always put a little bit of myself into the characters, too. You find parallels, points of connection, things like that. But I'm not an actor who gets so incredibly haunted by my characters that I can't come back.

The best compliment was Ben Kingsley coming up to me, putting his hand on the back of my neck, and saying, Good job, son..
