As a kid, I was the neighbourhood baby-sitter - very responsible, always in charge.

There's fear in everything, but we can't just succumb to that. We have to suppress it, so we get used to suppressing fear to make it through the our day. Otherwise, we'd become paralyzed by them.

I don't want people to feel: Why am I watching this? It's sick and sadistic. I want people to watch and think it's scary but they can't wait to see what happens next. I also wanted to make a movie that was watchable.

I want an iPhone 5, someone said something nasty on twitter, or my boyfriend isn't texting me back, like whatever the thing is that seems so major in your life, when a real disaster hits you suddenly strips it all away and you see what's really important and who you really are.

I get a little too obsessive with work.

Once I got over the fear of writing female characters, it actually came quite easily and I was really happy with it. I just thought about girls I knew really, really well and I'd just have conversations with them and tried to relay how they talk about certain things.

I've always been a fan of 3D, going back to movies in the '50s. I was part of the early '80s 3D craze, which was coming at you in Jaws 3D, so I've always wanted to make a 3D film.

I have control issues. For sure, no question.

Horror audiences don't need to see some TV actor they're familiar with.

Anytime you make a movie, the goal is a wide theatrical release, with the right distributor.

It's just assumed that a horror sequel is going to be bad. It's never going to be as good as the first one.

Life is a series of avoiding horrible situations until ultimately you're dead. That's how I feel about things.

All the copycat movies were always PG-13 and people said: Nobody wants violence.

The film, 'Aftershock,' for me is really about how the minor problems in life that we think are so major ultimately mean nothing when a tragedy happens, when a real problem happens.
