I Feel Like Everyone I Meet Is

I Have Totally Hitched My Wagon To The Horse Of Storytelling, And The Idea That None Of Us Know Why We're Born, Or Why We're Gonna Die, Or What We're Planted Here, Or What's On The Other Side Of The Galaxy, Or When Time Began, Or When Time End. The Whole Nature Of Reality Is Pretty Up For Grabs, Really.

The Script [of Regression] Wasn't The Draw For Me. It Was Largely Alejandro [amenabar] And His Way Of Talking. To Hear Him Talking About The Script Was Way More Interesting Than The Script. He Wrote It, And So, English Is His Second Language. It's An Interesting Thing. I've Had That Before. I Was Directed By Alfonso Cuarón Before, Too. It's Always Interesting When You're Being Directed By Somebody Like That. So Much Of Directing Is About Communication, And Finding The Right Words, And What It Means, And How To Convey Certain Emotions And Ideas.

One Of The Things I Can Do Is To Try To Put Myself In Different Kinds Of Movies And That Kind Of Subtly Changes My Work. By The Time My Obituary Is Written, I Want There To Be A Great Western And A Great Comedy.

I've Very Rarely Worked With Somebody That Had Such A Clear Idea Of What Alejandro Amenábar Wanted To Do And What He Wanted To Achieve. The Guy Is Incredibly Prepared. He Was Clearly Making A Movie For Himself And His Own Dream. I Just Tried To Be A Part Of That Dream. It's A Rare Opportunity.

How To Make A Scary Movie Human, Take A Movie Like Sinister. How Can I Make That Guy So Real So That The Scary Elements Of It Are More Scary And It Functions As A Genre Movie - As The Way It's Supposed To, You Want To Hear A Ghost Story At Midnight, That's A Good One - But How Do You Fill It Up With Humanity Inside, In Staying True To The Genre? You Know? Does That Make Sense?
