Why be boring? Have some fun. Rock shows should be like movies: I don't go to a movie hoping it'll change my life.

Even if we die at 100, we're still dying young. I want at least 700 years. There's a lot of travelling and books to read and movies to see. I'm not going to squeeze it all in in 85 years.

I'm a big fan of vampire movies generally and that sort of tradition of characters.

Before I'd written movies, I never could do big set-piece scenes with a lot of different speakers - when you've got twelve people around a dinner table talking at cross purposes. I had always been impressed by other people's ability to do that.

My interest in film is sort of catholic - apart from science fiction and horror movies, I'll watch almost everything.
