आप बच नहीं सकते, भाग नहीं सकते। आप चाहे कितनी ही बार कांच की खिड़की से छलांग लगा लें, आखिरकार घूम-फिरकर उसी मकड़ी के जाल में वापस आ जाएंगे।

You can't get away, you can't escape. You'll jump through a plate-glass window several times and end up being right back in the spider's web.

आप चाहे कहीं भी जा रहे हों, वो गलत जगह ही होगी।

मूल 'रिटर्न ऑफ़ द लिविंग डेड' का निर्देशन मुझे ही करना था और इसकी कहानी भी मैंने ही लिखी थी। लेकिन फिल्म की शूटिंग में देरी हो गई। इस बीच मैं 'लाइफ़फोर्स' बनाने लंदन चला गया।

The original Return of the Living Dead, I was attached to direct it, and I wrote the story. Production was delayed. In the meantime I went to London to do Lifeforce.

आपको आर-रेटिंग (वयस्कों के लिए) की ज़रूरत होती है क्योंकि इसके बिना आप विज्ञापन नहीं कर सकते और फिल्म रिलीज़ नहीं हो पाएगी।

You need an R rating because without one, you can't advertise and the film won't get shown

मैं एक ऐसा इंसानी राक्षस बनाना चाहता था जिसका नाम कॉफ़िन बेबी हो। यह विचार पासाडेिना के कुछ लोगों पर आधारित है जिनका नाम मैं नहीं ले सकता। उसकी मां की मौत हो गई थी और अंतिम संस्कार के दौरान वह बच्चा ताबूत के अंदर ही पैदा हुआ था।

I wanted to make a human monster. His name is Coffin Baby. The idea is based on a group of people from Pasadena whose names I can't mention. His mother died and during the funeral, this baby came out of her in the coffin

अगर कोई पहले 'अमेरिकन नाइटमेयर' देखे और उसके बाद 'चेनसॉ', तो उसे यह फिल्म एक अलग ही नजरिए से समझ आएगी।

If one sees the American Nightmare first and Chainsaw after that, you'll see it in a different kind of light

मुझे यूरोपीय फिल्में पसंद थीं—फेडरिको फेलिनी, माइकलएंजेलो एंटोनियोनी, फ्रांस्वा त्रुफ्फो।

The films I liked were European films - Federico Fellini, Michelangelo Antonioni, François Truffaut.

आज के बच्चे वाकई बहुत समझदार और तेज हैं। वे अभी तक सिस्टम के सांचे में ढलकर झुके नहीं हैं। मुझे लगता है कि आज की युवा पीढ़ी में एक अद्भुत समझ है, और यह बड़े होने की प्रक्रिया का ही एक हिस्सा है।

The kids are really smart. They are sharp and they're not yet bent over by the system. I think there's a wonderful intelligence in today's youth, and it's a part of growing up.

वकीलों ने हॉलीवुड पर कब्जा कर लिया है। उनके लिए यह सब सिर्फ पैसे कमाने का जरिया है। वे जानते हैं कि लोग वही देखना चाहते हैं जो वे पहले देख चुके हैं। इसके अलावा, रीमेक कल के नए सितारों को दुनिया के सामने लाने का एक जरिया हैं।

Law students have taken over Hollywood. To them it's all about making money. They know people want to see what they've seen before. Also, remakes are places to showcase the new stars of tomorrow

एक बार एक रेस्तरां में मेरा ऐसा अनुभव हुआ जहां बीफ काटने के लिए एक बड़ी ट्रॉली थी, और मैंने बस उसे अलग-अलग कल्पनाओं से जोड़ लिया। जैसे, अगर वहां एक प्यारी सी गाय हो जिसने बो-टाई पहनी हो और हाथ में चाकू लेकर इंसानों को काट रही हो? उसके बाद मैं दो साल तक शाकाहारी रहा था।

I had an experience in a restaurant one time where there was a large trolley with beef being carved up, and I just transposed different images onto it. Like, what if there was a nice little cow there with a bowtie and a knife carving up humans. I was a vegetarian for a couple of years after that.

हर साल हजारों लोग लॉस एंजिल्स आते हैं, और उनमें से कुछ अचानक गायब हो जाते हैं। कोई तो है जो उन्हें उठा ले जाता है। अमेरिका में हर साल करीब एक लाख लोग गायब हो जाते हैं। मुझे नहीं पता इसका क्या मतलब है। शायद कोई ऐसी ताकत है जो उन्हें खींच ले जाती है।

Thousands of people come to LA every year, and some of them just disappear. Somebody gets them. In the States around 100,000 people vanish each year. I don't know what that means. Maybe there's something that just pulls 'em out.

मेरे जीवन में जितने भी प्रभाव पड़े, वे सब एक तरह से राजनीतिक और सामाजिक रूप से जुड़े हुए थे। और फिर वाटरगेट कांड हुआ।

The influences in my life were all kind of politically, socially implanted. And then there was Watergate.

मुझे संगीत बहुत पसंद है और धुनें बनाना अच्छा लगता है। मैंने बचपन में ही चम्मच और कोटो (जापानी वाद्य यंत्र) बजाकर संगीत की दुनिया में कदम रखा था, और उसके बाद पियानो बजाना सीखा।

I love music and I enjoy creating sounds. I got into making music when I was a child, starting with the spoons and the koto before moving onto the piano.

मैंने इतने लंबे समय तक इतनी कड़ी मेहनत की कि मुझे बोलने में हकलाने की समस्या हो गई। जब भी मैं बहुत थक जाता हूँ, ऐसा हो जाता है।

I had worked so hard for so long that I developed a speech impediment. It happens when I get tired.

मुझे लगता है 'चेनसॉ' का रीमेक बहुत अच्छा है और यह मूल फिल्म की आत्मा को बखूबी पकड़ता है। यह मूल फिल्म के मिजाज के प्रति इतना वफादार है कि यह लगभग उसी का एक हिस्सा लगता है।

I think the Chainsaw remake is very good and captures the spirit of the original film. It's true to the tone of the original, to the point that it's almost a companion piece
