“There's a quality of life which is going to be taken away from us, a certain privacy, a certain loneliness. And that is a valuable thing.”

“I wanted to write an adult story, something that was a little more than 'there's a monster and it's going to eat you'.”

“Science fiction had been a comic strip, that's all it was. I wanted to do something that had a bit more dimension.”

“Horror is not about the full stop. Horror is about the question mark.”

“In the end, you can't censor the human imagination.”

“I think ghosts are a memory of the past. A memory that is impressed upon a place.”

“The best horrors are the ones that are inside your own head.”

“The worst things are not the things that go 'boo' in the dark, but the things that make you think.”
