I had stories that needed more space than the hour and a half or two hours a movie gives you. ↗

My stories are very somber, so I think I need the comic ingredient. Besides, life has so much humor. ↗

The writer of stories or of novels settles on men and imitates them; he exhausts the possibilities of his characters. ↗

I like something where I can really use my imagination and be an active participant in the construction of the monster and usually that's in the world of the supernatural or the world of the fantastic, so that's why those kinds of stories about demons and the supernatural appeal to me or maybe I'm really interested in that subject. ↗

I don't really approach stories to make them different from other stuff I've seen, I just try to get into the character, into his or her head. Try to make it as funny, as scary or as wild as I can so that I really like it. ↗

When we read stories of heroes, we identify with them. We take the journey with them. We see how the obstacles almost overcome them. We see how they grow as human beings or gain qualities or show great qualities of strength and courage and with them, we grow in some small way. ↗

I had developed this habit of writing scenarios as a hobby. I would find out which stories had been sold to be made into films and I would write my own treatment and then compare it. ↗

When I write an original story I write about people I know first-hand and situations I'm familiar with. I don't write stories about the nineteenth century. ↗

For me, acting was a way of releasing all of this stuff that I had inside - and a way for me to tell the stories of the people I knew, so that their spirit could live through me. ↗
