I think that The Eye is a particularly Americanized take on horror.

I think there are movies that are so gigantic that you need a second unit.

I think there is a very quiet power in things that are not on screen.

I was part of a group that had a cinema club so every week we would project two or three movies on 16 or 35mm.

I'd grab the camera and tell people what to do, and when I was 14, someone told me that it was called directing.

When I was a teenager there was no video in my country. Betamax came to Mexico very slowly.

In that, Blade 2 is very much like a rock concert... if it's too loud, you're too old.

I like actors that are good with pantomime and that can transmit a lot by their presence and attitude more than through their dialogue.

The other thing that I started doing for myself was, I went through my diary of ideas that I keep and made sure that the translation of the comic to the movie was good.

They're getting more and more experience on what to expect, and the Hellboy audience is such a faithful and fanatic audience as I am, and you have to really be very open about what you do.

Well I think effects are tools.

Well, the first thing is that I love monsters, I identify with monsters.

What happens to me is that I am first and foremost a film geek.

Hellboy is the first movie where both ends of the spectrum are combined.

For eight years I did effects for other movies until I got my movie made.
