Dad, Girls Don't Fall Down

There's More Emphasis On Art And Culture In Europe Than There Is In The United States And I Think That A Lot Of American Directors And Writers Are Just Trying To Copy Other American Horror Films, They Don't Pick Up Much In The Way That European Filmmakers Do.

Horror Films Don't Create Fear. They Release It.

I Don't Want To Rescind American Directors But I Think That European Directors In General, Because Of The Size Of The Nations In Europe Are Exposed To All Different Cultures, They Can Easily Travel From One Distinct Culture To Another In A Matter Of Hours - You Can Drive For Two Weeks Across The United States And You're In The Same Basic Culture - So There Is A Certain Breadth Of Understanding And Sophistication That They Bring To It And Frankly, In Some Cases They Are Less Expensive Than American Directors.

I Did Have The Resource Of Having Taught Greek Mythology And The History Of Western Civilization, And You Can Go Back Into The Plays Of Aeschylus And Follow What Happens When People Seek Revenge, And There Are People Plucking Their Eyes Out. And Greek Mythology Is Filled With All Kinds Of Monsters And Whatnot.

I Believe The Cinema Is One Of Our Principal Forms Of Art. It Is An Incredibly Powerful Way To Tell Uplifitng Stories That Can Move People To Cry With Joy And Inspire Them To Reach For The Stars.
