[on being introduced by her father, at age five, to movies] I asked him last year why he took me to 'Jaws' and he said, ''You liked fish'.

[on horror in films] I think as a society that we need it. It's a place where we channel all our fears and nightmares. And you can use evil in a metaphoric way with human monsters, rather than having to deal with the documentary version - which I think is pretty harsh.
