american-director anyone created creature horrible
I created a creature that I would find very unnerving, and I can't think of a more horrible way for anyone to go out than to be eaten.
almost american-director chance gave monster second time twice
They gave me twice the time and twice the money, so Jeepers 2 was almost like a second chance - the monster movie I wanted to do in the first place.
article came definitive kid local obsessive point ran saw seen turning
'Jaws' was the definitive filmmaking turning point for me. It came out in the summer of '75 and I saw it an obsessive 55 times. They even ran a very embarrassing article about me in the local paper, about the weird kid who's seen 'Jaws' 55 times.
spiritual memorable warrior
SPIRITUAL WARRIORS is a terrific voyage. A memorable journey through the light and dark of our lives and ultimately to hope. I loved it.
friday teacher writing
When I was about 13 or 14, I had an English teacher who made a deal with me that I could get out of doing all of the year's regular work if I would write a short story a week and on Friday read it to the class.
summer kids paper
Jaws' was the definitive filmmaking turning point for me. It came out in the summer of '75 and I saw it an obsessive 55 times. They even ran a very embarrassing article about me in the local paper, about the weird kid who's seen 'Jaws' 55 times.
thinking primal-fear humans
I think that's still the most primal fear of all humans: to be eaten.
regret struggle animal
I think I'm very interested in people, in the way our minds work and how we navigate through the experience that is life. Very interested in people's struggles and their choices and their regrets and joys. I'm very interested in the human animal.
believe dark men
I have a controversial opinion about evil, because I don't believe evil exists. I believe that actions are dark and destructive but I don't believe evil is a thing. I believe it's a by-product of man's fear and desperation.
heart thinking desire
I don't have any illusion that The Creeper is as popular or will ever be as popular as any of the classic movie monsters, but I think in the heart of every young horror fan is his desire to create his own creature.
moving effort made
I've never made any effort to hide what happened. I served my time, I've tried to learn and move on.
american-director fact sequel
No, in fact I am embarrassed to say that I told everyone after the first Jeepers that I would never, ever make a sequel to any of my films.
